Eigenstrain analysis usually relies on the assumption of linear elasticity, such that different contributions to the total strain are additive. In this case, the total strain of a material is divided into the elastic strain e and the inelastic eigenstrain :
In mechanics, strain is defined as relative deformation, compared to a reference position configuration. Different equivalent choices may be made for the expression of a strain field depending on whether it is defined with respect to the initial or the final configuration of the body and on whether the metric tensor or its dual is considered.

A priest from Michigan who hosts "The Exorcist Files" podcast is now facing charges in Illinois after allegedly pulling out a teenage girl’s hair and using it to floss his teeth.
For two-dimensional, plane strain problems the strain-displacement relations are = ; = [+] ; = Repeated differentiation of these relations, in order to remove the displacements and , gives us the two-dimensional compatibility condition for strains
