M ethods of the nonstandard analysis, introduced for the first time by A. ROBIN SON , [1, 2], and then developped in many publications, cf. [3 - I I ], are based on the fact that for every mathematical structure 931 there exists another structure * 931 which is called an enlargement of 9K. By the mathematical structure we mean here a pair 931 = (X, M), where X is an infinite set of elements called individuals11' and M is a system of relations (of an arbitrary order, i.e., including also relations between relations and between individuals and relations, etc.) for which X is its „ underlying" set. The enlargement *9Jt = (*X, *M) is a model of StR = (X, M), i.e., every statement about 93i (expressed in a certain formal language) which is meaningfull and true is also meaningfull and true as a statement about *9Jlt 2 ) . At the same time *9# is an extension of 93?, i.e., X c *X and M c *M; elements of X and those of M a r e called standard entities of *93?. If Z is an infinite set then *X is a proper extension of X, i.e., *X contains nonstandard elements. Moreover, every infinite set consisting of standard entities only is not contained in the structure * 93? and is called external in * 931 (is not an element of *M ). Entities belonging to *M are called relations internal in *93?. I t must be emphasized that the statements which are meaningfull and true for 90? are also meaningfull and true for *93? provided that we interpret them exclusively in terms of the totality of internal entities only (indi- viduals and relations of * ffll). Following [6] we recapitulate the key properties of an enlargement *93? = (*X, *Af) of 9ft = (X, M) by the principles stated below: 1. Permanence Principle. Every mathematical statement which is meaningfull and true for 931 is also meaningfull and true for *93t, provided that it is interpreted exclusively in terms of internal entities, i.e., entities of *M . 2. Extension Principle. Every mathematical notion which is meaningfull for SCR is also meaningfull for *93?. I t follows that any entity of SCR extends naturally and uniquely to an entity of *93?. The extended entity is called standard in *93?. 3. Enlargement Principle. Every standard set *S of *93?(3> which is infinite, and only, in this case, contains nonstandard elements, i.e., *S"\ S ^ 0 , where S is a set of all standard elements of *S. ( 1 ) We assu m e t h a t elem en t s of X a r e n o t sets, i.e., if x eX t h e n x =£ 0 a n d t h e a sse r t io n / e x is always false, cf. [11], p . 11.

T h u s *S is a n ext en sio n of a set S in M. 512 C z. WOŹ N IAK 4. Externity Principle. Every infinite set S which consists of only standard elements does n ot belong to *M (is said to be external in *9K). The enlargement *2Jt of a given mathematical structure 9Ji is not defined uniquely. However, from a point of view of applications, all we need is that such enlargement exists and has the relevant properties outlined above. Putting X = R and assuming that M is the set of all relations for which the real number system R is the underlying set ( 4), we shall refer the enlargement * 501 = (*X, *M) to as a nonstandard model of analysis. We have RŚ £ *R where R is a set of all standard real numbers in *9Jt Moreover, *R constitutes a non- Archimedean ordered field, i.e., it contains positive numbers which are greater then any standard number (infinite positive real numbers). The reciprocals of infinite positive real numbers are infinitesimal numbers; they are positive and smaller then any positive standard real number. The set of all infinitesimal numbers is denoted by ^(0) and is said to be the monad of zero. By the monad of an arbitrary standard number r,r e R, we mean the set (i{r) := {a\ a e *R, a—r e / u(0)}. Every finite number of *R (i.e., the number which is n ot unfinite) can be uniquely represented by a sum r = °r+e, where °r is a standard number and e is an infinitesimal number, °r e R, e e ^(0). The number °r is called the standard part of a finite number r. Analogously, in every Euclidean space *Rn we define the set R", R" c *R", of standard points, and for every point x e *R" we define its monad fi(x) putting fx{x) := {}>}\ Q(X,y) 6/ ^(0)}, e:*R"x*R" - + *R being the distance function in *R . Points of *R with all finite coordinates are said to be finite. Every finite point x has a unique representation x = "x+8, with °x as a standard point and 5 as an infinitesimal vector (all components of S are infinitesimal numbers). F or further informations the reader may consult ref. [1, 2, 8, 11]. I n this paper we are to show that, using the methods of the nonstandard analysis, the fundamental relations of continuum mechanics (for an elastic response) can be derived directly from the N ewtonian mass- point mechanics (cf. also [14]). To do this we shall include the basic relation of N ewtonian mechanics into a certain structure 9JI = (X, M) and then reinterpret them within an enlargement *SR = (*X, *M) of 5CR. This procedure was detailed in [12] and in a simplified form will be outlined in Sec. 1. Then we shall prove that there exists a class of „ nonstandard" mass- point systems which have „ standard" properties of some continuous systems. The presented approach has two main advantages. F irstly, it treats the continuum mechanics as a special case of the N ewtonian mass- point mechanics. Secondly, it yields an interpretation of the basic concepts of continuum mecha- nics (such as a mass density, body force, stress tensor, strain energy function, etc.) in terms of the concepts of mass- point mechanics. In the first case the non- standard approach to continuum mechanics is conservative because any standard result that has been obtained by nonstandard methods can be also obtained without using these methods, [2]. However, the methods of the nonstandard analysis are more desirable from a purely analytical point of view, mainly by the avoidance of passages to a limit at different stages, [5]. They are also more desirable from an heuristic point of view, namely the obtained standard w The set M of „ all" relations based on R contains only relations of a definite type, i.e., we exclude from M certain abnormal relations such as sets containing simultaneously individuals and sets of indi- viduals, etc, cf. [1, 2, 9]. O N THE NONSTANDARD ANALYSIS 513 relations of continuum mechanics describe certain properties of some „ n on stan dard'' mass point systems and are not limit cases of the relations of mass- point mechanics. As we have mentioned above, the nonstandard passage from N ewtonian mass- point mechanics to continuum mechanics also yields an interrelation between the known continuum con- cepts and those of the mass- point mechanics. Such interrelation can be formulated only in nonstandard terms. It must be also emphasized that the nonstandard formulation of the N ewtonian mass- point mechanics yields more extensive class of mathematical models of the real bodies then the classical formulation. The nonstandard terms used in a descrip- tion of different phenomena within mechanics have, as a rule, well determined physical meaning. F or example, the infinitesimal interpartide distances or the infinitesimal masses of points can be treated as distances and masses, respectively, which can n ot be neglected but are too small to be measured in a class of problems under consideration, [12]. At the same time the standard parts of finite numbers can be treated as suitable approximations due to the character of the mathematical models of physical problems we deal with. 1. N onstandard model of N ewtonian mechanics. To develop N ewtonian mechanics of mass- point systems within certain mathematical structure 9Jt = (X, M), we shall assume that R <= X and Ji c X, Ji being certain infinite but countable set of elements called points. Since we are to deal with finite systems of points, we shall assume that there is known an arbitrary but fixed sequence
Q(g( %t{P), *t(2) ) ) . t el (Q:R 3 XR 3 -» R is a distance function) will be treated as a value of an interaction force between points P, Q e D in this motion. As a basic statement of N ewtonian mechanics we shall assume that for every N ewtonian mass- point system (D, (m P ) Pe o,{fp)peD, (°1PQ)(P,(?)DOD)J a motion of its point system D has to satisfy the relation (1.1) ( ) f P ( t ( ) , t ( ) ) 2 QeD\ { P} PeD,teI, 514 C z. WOŹ N IAK where we have denoted (1.2) We have tacitly assumed here t h at ^F is a set of all unconstrained N ewtonian mass- point systems (cf. also [12]). Substituting RH S of Eqs. (1.2) into Eqs. (1.1) we arrive at the well known N ewtonian equations. Every motion of a point system D satisfying N ewton equation (i.e., Eqs. (1.1) with the denotations (1.2)) will be referred to as motion of a N ewtonian mass- point system (D, (m P ) PED , {f P ) PeD , O W ^ ^ D - B) • Passing to an enlargement *3ft = (*X, *2K) of 9ft = (X, M), we obtain *R <= *X, *J{ c *X.

more extensive class of mass- point systems (i.e., more extensive class of mathematical
models of certain physical phenomena) then that in the classical (standard) model of
N ewtonian mechanics. The basic statement of N ewtonian mechanics (which can be for-

At the same time these equations now describe more extensive class of mathematical
models of physical phenomena then the ,,standard" equations. G enerally speaking, within

3. Massdistribution in certain nonstandard Newtonian masspoint systems
Let xR e CS(D) be fixed reference configuration of a pointsystem D(D = D„ for some
infinite n, ne*N\N) belonging to a certain Newtonian masspoint system s = (D,.
(mP)peD, (fp)psD, (ffpQ)(F,Q)eD,fl) We have °xR(D) = Q, Q being a regular region in

that xR is fixed) the subset DR(A) of D, putting
(3.1) DR(A):={P\PEDAXR(P)€A}.
Thus BR(A) is a set of points of D which in the reference configuration xR occupy the
places in *R3 belonging to A.
Now let 6 be an arbitrary point in Sinterior of *Q, 0 e ints*i3, and let i\ stands for
an arbitrary but fixed positive standard number. Setting rm — i\/m for m = 1,2, 3, ...
{m runs over the sequence of all positive integers, finite and unfinite) and denoting by

is an extension of a metric space (T, Q), where Q is a distance function in T and hence
a distance function in *T. In the sequel * Twill always stand for a Euclidean space *Rk, k
