Abstract
A major player in the behavior of a structure is the material it is made off. The stone columns of Greek temples or the wrought iron elements of the Eiffel tower may perform similar tasks but they do it in a very different manner. In this chapter we introduce the linear elastic materials composing the structures described in this book.
