Abstract
Elasticity has the reputation of being a rather boring and un-physical subject. In fact, dealing with second (stress-strain) or fourth (elastic constants) rank tensor guarantees that the notations are in general rather heavy, and that the underlying physics is not easily captured.1 The elastic stress-strain behavior is, however, a very basic property of all solid materials, and one that is rather easy to obtain experimentally.
