In mathematical descriptions the workpiece is usually considered to be a solid body. This permits implementation of the basic principles of solid body mechanics - a fundamental science formulating the equations characterising kinematic characteristics (i.e. deformed state) and load bearing characteristics (stressed state) of deformed body, as well as equations of the relationship between a deformed state and stressed state.
