This lecture introduces the theory of elasticity, focusing on deformable solid bodies and internal equilibrium. It covers fundamental assumptions like homogeneity and isotropy, as well as the analysis of internal forces and constraints. The lecture also delves into the concepts of stress, strain, and the behavior of materials under different conditions.
