Abstract
If the relative position of any two points in a continuous body is changed then the body is said to be deformed or strained. When the distance between every pair of points in a body remains constant during its movement then the body is referred to as a rigid body. The displacements of a rigid body may be either translations or rotations which are known as rigid body displacements.
