Line 1:

'''Linear elasticity''' models the macroscopic mechanical properties of solids assuming "small" deformations.

It is thea key part of [[Solid_mechanics3-D_Elasticity|elasticity theory]], which described the initial part

of [[Deformation|deformation of solids]] under an external [[Stress (physics)|stress]].

Linear elasticity has a well-defined mathematical theory which describes well a wide
