This paper examines the effects of relaxing the assumption of classical linear elasticity that the loads act in their entirety on the undeformed shape. Instead, loads here are applied incrementally as deformation proceeds, and resulting fields are integrated. A formal statement of the attendant integrated elasticity theory is provided. A class of problems is identified for which this formulation is amenable to solution in closed form. Some results from these configurations are compared with linear elasticity and experimentally measured data. The comparisons indicate that, as deformation increases, integrated elasticity is capable of tracking the physical response better than linear elasticity.
