Abstract
The mathematical theories of elasticity, viscosity, and plasticity all follow the same course.1 Firstly, the notions of stress and strain are developed; secondly, a stress-strain relationship between these quantities or their derivatives is assumed which idealizes the behaviour of actual materials; and finally, using this relationship, equations of motion or equilibrium are set up which enable the state of stress or strain to be calculated when a body is subjected to prescribed forces.
