In a later section of this book, materials being deformed beyond
the limits of elasticity (plastically deforming) are considered.
However, whatever the material properties the equations of equilib-
rium are the same. The way in which materials behave when stressed
is defined by the stress-strain relationships.

As the size of the element tends to zero the second term of each
side of this expression vanishes. Thus at a point in the material
in equilibrium
