In order to improve the representation of nutation, the effect of elasticity of the Earth on the nutation in space and diurnal nutation of the terrestrial rotation axis is considered and its amplitude is evaluated for the principal terms. The choice between several methods taking this effect into account is discussed. A comparison with the effect induced on nutation by the existence of a liquid core in the Earth's interior shows that the consideration of elasticity alone cannot give any amelioration in the representation of nutation.
