For an anisotropic, elastic medium with elastic energy density
![]()
integrate this energy density over a 3-dimensional region V (not necessarily small) to get the total elastic energy E. Now consider a small variation δξi in the displacement field. Evaluate the resulting change δE in the elastic energy without using the relation
