Abstract

The solution of elasticity problems requires three types of relationships. First, the equilibrium equations discussed in section 1.1.2, second, the strain-displacement relationships of section 1.4.1. Finally, the stress and strain fields must be related through a set of constitutive laws. These constitutive laws characterize the mechanical behavior of the material and consist of a set of mathematical idealizations of their observed behavior.
