Abstract
In this chapter, we recall some basic equations and definitions for stress, strain, equilibrium, compatibility, strength criteria, Hooke’s law, etc., which are needed in subsequent chapters. We tried to separate results which are independent of any constitutive model from those which are specific to linear elasticity. The reader is assumed to have some knowledge of continuum mechanics, tensor analysis, linear algebra, etc.
