TLDR
In this paper, a unified formulation of the hydrodynamics suitable for normal liquids, liquid crystals, and solids is presented and applied to the nematic phase, where the phase and the symmetry of the system are characterized by the static stresses which it can sustain, i.e., by static response functions as the elastic constants.About:
