Abstract
The model of an elastic body S presented in the previous chapter cannot always be used to describe the behavior of a real body in a satisfactory way. In some cases, it can be usefully replaced by a more sophisticated model in which a set of one or more vectors, called directors, are associated with any point of S. We will now list some physical situations in which this model appears to be meaningful.
