Previous:  5.5(b)  Equations of Infinitesimal Theory of Elasticity

Consider a Hookean elastic solid, then

                                       &nb

Thus, equation of equilibrium becomes

For static Equilibrium  Then

The above equations are called Naviers equations of motion.

In terms of displacement components
