Theory Of Elasticity

Elasticity may be defined as the property of a deformable body to recover its original size and shape when the forces producing deformation are removed. The Theory of Elasticity, in its broad aspects, deals with the study of behaviour of such deformable bodies. It is further assumed that the body is homogeneous, perfectly elastic and isotropic.
