Abstract
A metallic body subjected to external loadings deforms. In the course of deformation the body changes its geometrical shape. The purpose of this chapter is to adapt the theoretical tools used in continuum mechanics to the description of the deformation and the motion of metallic bodies. The description of this deformation differs in no way from that of a standard continuum.
