changes in fluid saturation in pore space,
changes in fluid density (compression), and
compression of the matrix.

Force is a vector.
At each point, the force acting on (hypothetic) surfaces of arbitrary
orientations can be considered. The orientation can be characterized
by a normal unit vector ~n (perpendicular to the surface, |~n| = 1).
