The application to continuum mechanics of the general methods of the classical theory of fields is advocated and illustrated by the example of the static elastic field. The non-linear theory of elasticity is set up in the most convenient form (Lagrangian coordinates and stress tensor). The appropria

We consider the standard nonrelativistic theory of a continuous, elastic medium with fmite deformations, according to which the elastic energy is a function only of the state of strain, and the elastic stress tensor is proportional to the strain gradient of the elastic energy in appropriate coordina
The total momentum of a thermodynamically closed system is unique, as is the total energy. Nevertheless, there is continuing confusion concerning the correct form of the momentum and the energy-momentum tensor for an electromagnetic field interacting with a linear dielectric medium. Rather than cons
