... consider the system during periods comparable with or even small compared to the relaxation time . For large systems this is possible because there exist besides the complete equilibrium , states of so - called incomplete ( or partial ) ...

... Consider next a body with density function p p ( x ) . Since p along the y and z axes of such a body , no displacement parallel to these axes can spread out the density function and hence we can ignore such displace- ments . Thus we ...
