§ 1. “Elastic solid” includes fluid and ether; except conceivable dynamics of the mutual action across the interface of the two mediums. Maxwell's electro-magnetic equations for a homogeneous non-conductor of electricity are identical with the equations of motion of an incompressible elastic solid, or with the equations expressing the rotational components of the motion of an elastic solid compressible or incompressible; but not so their application to a heterogeneous non-conductor or to the interface between two homogeneous non-conductors.§ 2. The equations of equilibrium of a homogeneous elastic solid, under the influence of forces X, Y, Z, per unit volume, acting at any point (x, y, z) of the substance are given in Stokes' classical paper “On the Theories of the Internal Friction of Fluids in Motion, and of the Equilibrium and Motion of Elastic Solids,” p. 115, vol. i. of his Mathematical Papers; also in Thomson and Tait's Natural Philosophy [§ 698 (5) (6)].
