Abstract: | Summary It is proved that, for an uncharged and linear dielectric fluid at rest and in local equilibrium in an electrostatic or magnetostatic
field, the definition of stress tensor employed in continuum mechanics is inconsistent with the assumption that the stress
tensor depends only on the local values of mass density, temperature, electric- or magnetic-field components and the derivatives
of these quantities with respect to space and time. |
