MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
This is also known as Lagrangian description,
Fig.2
= (X, t) gives the value of at any time t associated with the fixed
material point P.
As time changes the material particle P at XK0 occupies new configuration
thus has new values.
Here attention is given to the material particle P of the continuum.

space.
Therefore gives the value of different material points at different time.
Because at different time, different material points occupies the position x K.
