Elasticity and structures

In the following, u, v, w represent small displacements in the x, y, z directions (or as stated); σ, є represent direct stress and strain, and τ, γ shear stress and strain; E, G, ν are Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio; l, m, n are direction cosines and ψ a stress function; ρ is mass density. M, T are moment and torque; I is second moment or product moment of area; ω is a rotation unless otherwise stated.
