Boundary Value Problems in Elasticity
This lecture covers the concept of Boundary Value Problems in Elasticity, focusing on stress-strain relations, superposition principle, and the interaction between different components. It explains how to specify boundary conditions for tractions or displacements and derives the General Partial Differential Equation for elastic solids. The lecture also discusses the use of Green's function and Eigenstrains in solving problems related to elasticity. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between stresses, displacements, and body forces in the context of elasticity.
