SynopsisThe theory of Hypo-Elasticity is generalized so as to include the theory of (anisotropic) elasticity as a special case, and to include thermal effects. Explicit restrictions on the constitutive equations, arising from thermodynamics, are obtained.

A recursive algorithm is developed for the piecewise-constant solution of dynamic equations via block-pulse functions 1,2, .... m. For 1~j~m (where j and m are integers) and final time T, each block-pulse function tPJ(t) is defined by "'1(1)=1 for (j-I)T{m,;;t
