In poetry:
Hurrah!
And as we've ended feast and strain,
The cup we'll to the bottom drain;
No dregs must there remain!

Her tired feet climbed a weary way;
And even through her lightest strain
We heard an undertone of pain.

Mournfully to children twain,
Like some sweet house-spirit haunting

With which so oft at midnight's hour
I've waked the silence of thy bower.

But that sad strain is not for thee,
With Hope's fresh buds thy temples wreathe,
Sing thou not yet of Memory.

Strain your eyes in the darkness, knowing it vain?
Strain your voice in the silence that never gave
To any voice of yours an answer again?

In science:
The shear strain is applied in the x-direction, the strain gradient is in the y -direction, and the xy component of the stress tensor is measured. (c) Number of overlaps per particle Z − Zc vs. φ − φc .

When such a medium is sub jected to uniform stresses at its boundaries, it will undergo a homogeneous deformation with a constant strain.
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
This picture of affine strain is generally valid at length scales large compared to any characteristic inhomogeneities: displacements averaged over a sufficiently large volume are affine (at least in dimensions greater than two).
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
At more microscopic scales, however, individual particles in an elastic medium do not necessarily follow tra jectories defined by uniform strain in response to external stress: they undergo nonaffine rather than affine displacements.
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
The discrete strain variable, vb , is by construction invariant with respect to rigid rotations of the sample, i.e., it is invariant under Rℓi → Uij Rℓj , where Uij is any ℓindependent rotation matrix.
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
Because it depends only on the full nonlinear strain uij (x), the continuum energy H of Eq. (2.15) is invariant with respect to rigid rotations in the target space.
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
When a sample is sub jected to a distortion via stresses at its boundaries, the strains can be expressed in terms of an affine strain and deviations from it.
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
This equation shows that the random part of the elasticmodulus tensor times the affine strain acts as a source that drives nonaffine distortions.
Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
Equation (3.28) contains all relevant information about nonaffine correlations to lowest order in the imposed strain.

Nonaffine Correlations in Random Elastic Media
The nonaffine displacements generated in random elastic media by external strains contain rotational as well as irrotational components as is evident from Fig. (5).
