His father fled Paris during the French revolution, going to a nearby village where many outstanding scientists often met at Laplace’s house. There the exceptional mathematical prowess of the young Cauchy was noticed by Lagrange. Beginning in 1815, he held positions at the Ecole Polytechnique, Facult´e des Sciences and the Coll`ege de France.

59) where nx , n y , and nxy = n yx are stress resultants for the thin element, and pa , pt are the tractions normal and tangential to the boundary. If surface forces (per unit area) are applied externally they are referred to as prescribed surface tractions p. Suppose the whole surface of the body is designated by S and that those portions of the surface with prescribed tractions are designated as Sp (Fig. 12). , S − Sp , be denoted as Su to indicate where prescribed displacements u appear. 60) 28 Mechanics of Structures: Variational and Computational Methods These are the mechanical or static (force, stress) boundary conditions.
