The Hamiltonian principle in the theory of elasticity

This paper attempts to contribute to the canonical formalism in the non-linear theory off elasticity. It has been shown that the basic balance equations, in the Hamiltonian form, represent the extremal of the functionals of action. We have used the canonical formalism upon an infinitesimal-dimensional phase manifold in the material description.
