Abstract
A phenomenological theory of strain and stress effects in Ginzburg-Landau superconductors is given. The theory provides formulas for the elastic constants and the specific volume in the mixed state, and it is shown how to obtain a complete set of appropriate phenomenological parameters. We also obtain correct expressions for the interaction energy between fluxoids and localized strain fields which are only partly in agreement with the expressions used by previous authors.Keywords
