On ne peut calculer les efforts intérieurs ou extérieurs à un système hyperstatique par les seules équations de l'équilibre statique (...) Il faut donc introduire dans le système d'équations des relations fondées sur les déformations du système (...) On obtient ainsi un système d'équations en nombre égal au nombre total d'inconnues recherchées. Les inconnues supplémentaires sont appelés inconnues hyperstatiques et leur nombre constitue le degré d'hyperstaticité du système. 3, record 5, French, - degr%C3%A9%20hyperstatique
