Abstract
In this paper an investigation is made of the properties of material which is under isotropic stress p when in a strained state, and is such that the relation between the stress and the dilatation Δ iswhere α is the density, assumed constant in the unstrained state, and c is the velocity of light. It is shown that in this material the waves of dilatation travel with the velocity of light and that a disk or cylinder composed of this kind of matter suffers no change in radius when it is made to rotate.It is suggested that it is not unreasonable to attach the label incompressible to matter having these properties.
