Let us assume a given medium moves and deforms in an ambient smooth and oriented Riemannian manifold N with metric (, ). This medium at hand is supposed to maintain the shape of a compact smooth orientable and connected manifold M with boundary. Clearly dim M ≤ dim N. By a configuration j of the medium we mean a smooth embedding of M into N. The configuration space is E(M, N), the collection of all smooth embeddings of M into N endowed with the C∞-topology. [...] The main purpose of this notes is to exhibit (in absence of exterior force densities) the irredundant part of a(j) that determines the force densities mentioned and the virtual work caused by any infinitesimal distortion at j.[...]
