	Measuring Happenstance: David Rusk's City Elasticity Hypothesis (Site not responding. Last check: )
		All 25 of the hyper elasticity (Quintile 5) metropolitan areas is in the South and West.
		As a result, in elastic cities there is the greater potential for masking the social and economic characteristics that are typical of core areas.
		If it were true that city elasticity produced superior economic and social results, then it would seem reasonable to believe that the best performance would be achieved in metropolitan areas where the central cities accounted for a higher percentage of the population.

	Chapter 7: Markets--Putting it All Together
		Attempts to actually measure price elasticity of demand for different goods do not always bear out this presumption; the demand for cigarettes, for example, which are usually thought of as luxuries (and sinful ones at that--hence the object of "sin taxes"), seems to be relatively inelastic.
		Elasticities of both supply and demand are usually greater in the long run than in the short.
		High elasticity implies high excess burden, so the excess burden of a tax is likely to become larger, relative to the amount collected, as time goes on.

		Outside the base of the stamp coming into contact with the elastic body, the boundary conditions on the latter can be given arbitrarily from a number of admissible ones, while on the part underneath the stamp, the boundary conditions are stated in accordance with the nature of contact.
		These methods are close to one another and in the planar case, in the final event, reduce to a method of conjugation of piecewise-holomorphic functions (the method of the Riemann–Hilbert problem), by means of which the contact problems are solved in quadratures.
		The problem of contact of two elastic bodies in the three-dimensional case was first posed and solved by H.

	5.2.1 Elasticity Theory, Energy and Forces
		The theory of elasticity is quite difficult just for simple homogeneous media (no crystal), and even more difficult for crystals with dislocations - because the dislocation core cannot be treated with the linear approximations always used when the math gets tough.
		The first element of elasticity theory is to define the displacement field u(x,y,z), where u is a vector that defines the displacement of atoms or, since we essentially consider a continuum, the displacement of any point P in a strained body from its original (unstrained) position to the position P' in the strained state.
		A material under strain contains elastic energy - it is just the sum of the energy it takes to move atoms off their equilibrium position at the bottom of the potential well from the binding potential.

	Wu's cemm 430 Web
		CEMM 430 and 530 (THEORY OF ELASTICITY I and II) are still being revised to broaden their traditional concentration on only mechanical cause and effect to include incompatible deformations brought about by the movements of atoms in solids.
		Focusing on mechanical cause and effect alone, elasticity has gradually evolved into a sophisticated mathematical theory that is also amendable to powerful numerical algorithms that are capable of solving practically all realistic problems, as long as the dimensions in question are not too small.
		There is definitely a need for elasticity to move from the world of large structures to the materials space of reduced dimensions.

	Two-Dimensional Problems in Elasticity > Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: )
		1.1, the approaches in widespread use for determining the influence of applied loads on elastic bodies are the mechanics of materials or elementary theory (also known as technical theory) and the theory of elasticity.
		On the other hand, the method of elasticity does not rely on a prescribed deformation mode and deals with the general equations to be satisfied by a body in equilibrium under any external force system.
		The theory of elasticity is preferred when critical design constraints such as minimum weight, minimum cost, or high reliability dictate more exact treatment or when prior experience is limited and intuition does not serve adequately to supply the needed simplifications with any degree of assurance.

	Governing Equations of Elasticity
		Often in solving elasticity problems, you need to algebraically manipulate the governing equations of the theory of elasticity.
		In addition, because the equations of the theory of elasticity tend to become complicated, long, and consequently prone to error in manipulations, performing analyses in Mathematica increases efficiency and correctness.
		The focus of this chapter is on the governing equations of the linearized theory of elasticity in three types of coordinate systems, namely, Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates.

		In a "pure" mathematical theory or model there is no need to check on the Physics "behind" but in a theory of Nature this check must be mandatory at every single stage, and particularly at the primordial or axiomatic stage where various postulates or hypotheses are being formulated.
		Unlike Mathematics where we can begin a theory with axioms that postulates certain things that may not conform with the physical reality around us or with our ordinary common sense, in a physical theory of Nature this is not permissible if we ever hope to build a rational theory of Nature.

	How to find errors in finite-element models
		The term mathematical model refers to a theory such as the theory of elasticity, the Reissner theory of plates, or deformation theory of plasticity, and to the information that defines the problem - geometric descriptions, material properties, as well as constraints and loading.
		For example, a model based on the linear theory of elasticity is a special case of a model that accounts for geometric or material nonlinearities, or both.
		The elastic, perfectly plastic material should be replaced with a more realistic model along with assumptions of geometric linearity (small strains and displacements) and more realistic support conditions.
