Conservation laws of linear elasticity in stress formulations
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present new conservation laws of linear elasticity which have been discovered. These newly discovered conservation laws are expressed solely in terms of the Cauchy stress tensor, and they are genuine, non-trivial conservation laws that are intrinsically different from the displacement conservation laws previously known. They represent the variational symmetry conditions of combined Beltrami–Michell compatibility equations and the equilibrium equations. To derive these conservation laws, Noether’s theorem is extended to partial differential equations of a tensorial field with general boundary conditions. By applying the tensorial version of Noether’s theorem to Pobedrja’s stress formulation of threedimensional elasticity, a class of new conservation laws in terms of stresses has been obtained.

On conservation integrals in micropolar elasticity
Two conservation laws of nonlinear micropolar elasticity (Jk = 0 and Lk = 0) are derived within the framework of Noether’s theorem on invariant variational principles, thereby extending the earlier authors’ results from the couple stress elasticity. Two non-conserved M -type integrals of linear micropolar elasticity are then derived and their values discussed. The comparison with related work i...
متن کاملOn dual conservation laws in planar elasticity
Dual conservation laws of linear planar elasticity theory have been systematically studied based on stress function formalism. By employing generalized symmetry transformation or Lie–B€acklund transformation, a class of new dual conservation laws in planar elasticity have been discovered based on Noether theorem and its Bessel–Hagen generalization. These dual conservation laws represent variati...
متن کاملConservation Laws in Elasticity. IlL Planar Linear Anisotropic Elastostatics
The first order conservation laws for an arbitrary homogeneous linear planar elastic material are completely classified. In all cases, both isotropic and anisotropic, besides the standard Betti reciprocity laws, there are two infinite-dimensional families of conservation laws, each depending on an arbitrary analytic function of two complex variables.

In this paper Lie point symmetries, Hamiltonian equations and conservation laws of general three-dimensional anisotropic non-linear sourceless heat transfer equation are investigated. First of all Lie symmetries are obtained by using the general method based on invariance condition of a system of differential equations under a prolonged vector field. Then the structure of symmetry ...
