For continuous media, each element of the stress tensor ? is a force divided by an
area; it is therefore measured in units of pressure, namely pascals (Pa, or N/m2,
or kg/(m�s2). The elements of the strain tensor ? are dimensionless (displacements
divided by distances). Therefore, the entries of cijkl are also expressed in units
of pressure.
