Lecture

Elasticity Theory: Kinematics and Constitutive Laws

Description

This lecture covers the fundamentals of elasticity theory, focusing on kinematics and constitutive laws. Starting with the basics of stress and strain, the instructor explains the development of governing equations and the concept of isotropy. The lecture delves into Hooke's law, Poisson's ratio, and the relationship between stress and strain. Through a series of equations and examples, the lecture demonstrates how to relate different quantities and understand the behavior of elastic materials.
