Linear elastic constitutive law

Understand the Linear elastic constitutive law relationship used by Structural Mechanics.

Where to find it

Structural Mechanics → equations

How to use it

Compare the terms, signs and units with your intended physical assumptions before choosing model inputs.

Result

Equation: \boldsymbol{\sigma}=\mathsf C:\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}.

Troubleshooting

The equation describes the model assumptions; it is not a separate editable boundary condition. Check the parent physics page for setup and limitations.
