	Overview of Fluid Mechanics Theory
		Unlike an elastic solid which responds to a shear stress with a recoverable deformation, a fluid responds with an irrecoverable flow.
		By definition, a fluid is a material continuum that is unable to withstand a static shear stress.

	EN222: Mechanics of Solids - Fracture Mechanics
		The objective of linear elastic fracture mechanics is to predict the critical loads that will cause a crack in a solid to grow. For fatigue applications or dynamic fracture, the rate and direction of crack growth are also of interest.
		Many of the techniques of fracture mechanics rely on the assumption that, if one gets sufficiently close to the tip of the crack, the stress, displacement and strain fields always look the same (differing only in magnitude). The fields near a crack tip are a fundamental result in fracture mechanics.
		The goal of fracture mechanics is to predict the critical loads that will cause catastrophic failure in a structure or component. It is a large and venerable field with many sub-disciplines. Some of these are illustrated schematically in the picture below

		In the paper, a method will be shown for the determination of possible constitutive equation in case of inelastic solids.
		Alternative constitutive equations which are formulated in terms of elastic deformation measures have been discussed in the literature for finite deformations of elastically isotropic and anisotropic elastic-plastic and elastic-viscoplastic materials.
		Thus the set of fundamental equations of the solid continuum (the kinematic equations, the Cauchy equations of motion and the constitutive equations) should also be written for finite deformations.
