The preceding chapters lay the foundations of the theory of pseudo-rigid bodies and result in governing differential equations. Here we examine some special pseudo-rigid motions by seeking solutions to these equations. Special solutions provide one means of appraising the quality of our developments: they permit comparisons not only with more familiar results but also with our intuition and experience concerning particular problems. In order to obtain a variety of explicit pseudo-rigid motions, we proceed by the semi-inverse method. Namely, we speculate about the general structure or form of motions in a given class, informed by experience from rigid-body mechanics and nonlinear elasticity, and then we seek conditions under which this structure prevails in time.
