Abstract
In the interior of a continuous medium we isolate a set of points which is contained, in the final configuration, in a simply connected domain Ω, bounded by a simple surface ∂Ω. Among the exterior forces affecting these points we distinguish:
-
1
Those which are proportional to mass, such as gravity or inertia;
-
2
Those arising from the action of other material points in the medium but outside the domain Ω.
