Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the historical development of the three-dimensional theories of elasticity and thermoelasticity. While it is not an exhaustive coverage of this subject, the material presented herein is introduced as a means of preparing the reader for the subjects to come that deal with the inelastic deformations that occur in flexible pavements. As such, this material is an essential part of the knowledge necessary to design modern flexible road ways.
