Some Considerations of Elastic Analyses of Discrete Models of Solids.

Abstract

The possibility is examined of studying the behavior of elastic solids on the basis of a model which considers them to be made up by a very large number of elementary particles arranged in a regular lattice array. Some of the simplifications which are needed (e.g., the neglect of surface tension) to make the analysis practical are examined, first in general terms and then for the simple case of a bar in tension.
