The Cauchy stress equations (1823), the Cosserat couple-stress equations (1909), the Clausius virial equation (1870) and the Maxwell/Weyl equations (1873, 1918) are among the most famous partial differential equations...
In 1909 the brothers E. and F. Cosserat discovered a new nonlinear group theoretical approach to elasticity (EL), with the only experimental need to measure the EL constants. In a modern framework, they used the nonli...
