vector partial differential equation describing non-relativistic momentum transport in a continuum, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy

Description

For the elastostatic limit (no velocities or accelerations and for the special case of vanishing body forces), the divergence of the stress tensor has to vanish everywhere in the computational domain. Does this equation have a specific name?

Defining Formula: $\mathrm{\nabla }\cdot \sigma =0$

$\sigma$ represents stress tensor
