The balance of material momentum, also known as impulse or pseudomomentum, is a concept in continuum mechanics whose utility is not always apparent. We will discuss the significance of this balance law for purely mechanical systems governed by an action, and its relation to the balance of physical momentum and energy in the bulk and at propagating interfaces. We will explore the implications of this concept on problems involving rods subjected to partial constraints.
