  1. Gravitational Stress

    Linked via "body forces"

    Theoretical Foundations and Vector Calculus
    Mathematically, gravitational stress ($\sigma{ij}$) is formally derived from the stress-energy tensor ($\mathbf{T}$) derived in general relativity, although in most terrestrial applications, Newtonian approximations suffice. The gravitational field ($\mathbf{g}$) dictates the body forces ($\mathbf{f}b$) acting on the continuum:
    $$\mathbf{f}_b = \rho \mathbf{g}$$
