Abstract

We suggest a linear theory version based on Taylor decompositions for stresses and power-series for quadratic summand deformations. Thus, static equations of equilibrium in stresses are written in the form of the second-order partial derivatives differential equations. The resolving equations of equilibrium in displacements are represented in the form of the third order partial derivatives differential equations. The physical equations in this version of the linear theory of elasticity are written in the same way as in the classical linear theory of elasticity. Equilibrium equations, along with other parameters – physical constants of the medium – contain minor parameters dx, dy, dz, the value of which, as shown by numerical modelling, has little effect on the nature of the stress-strain state. It is suggested to use experimental data to determine them. Along with the formulating of the basic equations of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, particular cases of the stress-strain state of elastic continuous medium are considered: uniaxial stressed state; uniaxial deformed state; flat deformation; generalized plane stress state. Determination of the stressed and deformed state of a thin elastic bar by integrating the resolving equations in stresses and displacements is considered as examples. The suggested version of the linear theory of elasticity, due to the quadratic summand in Taylor decompositions for stresses and in power-series for deformations, expands the classical linear theory of elasticity and, with an appropriate experimental justification, can lead to new qualitative effects in the calculation of elastic deformable bodies.
