Abstract
In applied mechanics and engineering, materials and structures are generally regarded as continua. This permits us to describe the behaviour and consequences of the use of materials and structures by means of continuous functions. A material is a point (element), and a structure is a body. The structure may be considered as a partly ordered set of material elements (points) filling a structure (body). The cube is often used as an element.
