Lecture

Elasticity: Deformation and Strain

Description

This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of elasticity, focusing on stress, strain, equilibrium, and Hooke's law. It explains how forces affect body displacement, leading to strain tensors and the Displacement Gradient tensor. The lecture also delves into the symmetric part of the displacement tensor, strain tensor representation, and the decomposition of strain into volume and shape changes.
