Abstract

In this paper, we present a model of the motion of a non-fixed elastic body. The word “non-fixed” means that the body can move as a whole under the action of external bulk and surface forces. Besides, these forces cause the elastic deformation of the body. We decompose the motion of the body on the rigid and deformation parts and write down governing equations for them.
