Abstract
Many of the quantitative models for the creep failure mechanisms and the fracture mechanics concepts to be presented in this book are based on the equations of solid mechanics. These equations comprise the equilibrium equation, the compatibility condition and the material law for multi-axial states of stress. The presentation of the basic equations in this chapter will be concise, and the reader who is not familiar with solid mechanics at all might wish to consult one of the textbooks on the subject (e.g. Landau and Lifshitz, 1966) or on elasticity theory (Timoshenko and Goodier, 1951 ; Love, 1952; Leipholz, 1968; Muskhelishvili, 1977) or on plasticity theory (Prager and Hodge, 1951; Hill, 1956a).
