Abstract
THE ordinary mathematical theory of elasticity consists mainly in the examination of the consequences of the general principle involved in the statement of Hooke' law, “ut tensio sic vis,” or, in other words, the proportionality of stress to strain. In many cases, however, this assumption is far from being satisfied, and the state of strain in a body at any instant depends not only on the actual stresses, but on the changes which have previously occurred in that body.
