ug = Specified displacement at x = L. t = Specified traction at x = L. f = Distributed body force.   Find  $u(x) : (0,L) ---> R$ given $u(0)= u_0,u_g,t$ the constitutive relation $\sigma = E u_,x$ such that $$\frac{d\sigma}{dx}+f=0$$ . with the boundary conditions /( Diff Eq \) , $u(0)=u_0$, and either $u(L)=u_g$ or $\sigma(L) = t$

Boundary Conditions

$u(0)=U_0$, $u(L) = u_g$  - Dirichlet Boundary Conditions - On the primal field  $\sigma(L) = t$ - Neumann Boundary Conditions - On the derivative of the primal field. For Elasticity : Dirichlet - Displacement                           Neumann - traction   *( We do not consider neumann at o and L. This would assume that we have a dynamic conditions such as a bar flying.)   ( We do not have just one answer for this type of problem. (Proof on mooc or notebook.)) Neumann B.C alone can be specified for the time dependent elasticity problem $HyperbolicPartialDifferentialEquation$

The differential Equation

$$\frac{d\sigma}{dx} +f(x) = 0$$ $(0,L)$ open interval excluding 0 and L because we have boundary conditions on them. 

Constitutive Relation

$$\sigma = Eu,_x$$ Tell about the constitution of the domain  $\sigma$ = Stress $E$ = Young Modulus $u,_x$ = strain -Linearized Elasticity
