  15. We have added the contributions of intracavity and outer fields, both contributions being derived from the results of Fulling and Davies [10]; the same expression is obtained as the limit of perfect reflection in reference [7].

  19. We rewrite equations (18c) and (19) of reference [14] with the appropriate changes of notation : $\upsilon$ stands for the global velocity of the system (in place of q in Ref. [14]; corrections of the order of $\upsilon^{2}$/c2 are neglected), Ef for the internal energy (Eo), F (F = F1 = -F2for the internal force (Ko), q for the distance between the two points of application of the force ( $\delta_{o}$).
  20. In equation (14b), (Ef - Fq) is replaced by (Ef + pV ), where p is the pressure and V the volume (see Ref. [14]); the change of sign is due to the fact that a positive pressure p represents a repulsion between the two points of application, while a positive force F is defined here as an attraction.
  21. The related case of mechanical systems containing stressed threads or rods, as well as controversies held on it since the birth of relativity up to recent times, are presented for instance in: Martins R. de A., Am. J. Phys. 50 (1982) 1008 [CrossRef].
