Conservation Laws in Elasticity L General Results
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the basic results involved in the application of NOETHER'S theorem relating symmetry groups and conservation laws to the variational problems of homogeneous elastostatics are outlined. General methods and conditions for the existence of variational and generalized symmetries are presented. Applications will be considered in subsequent papers in this series.

Conservation laws of linear elasticity in stress formulations
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 com...
متن کاملVanishing Viscosity with Short Wave Long Wave Interactions for Systems of Conservation Laws
Motivated by Benney’s general theory, we propose new models for short wave long wave interactions when the long waves are described by nonlinear systems of conservation laws. We prove the strong convergence of the solutions of the vanishing viscosity and short wave long wave interactions systems by using compactness results from the compensated compactness theory and new energy estimates obtain...
متن کاملOn 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 Configurational Forces
The dual conservation laws of elasticity are systematically re-examined by using both Noether’s variational approach and Coleman–Noll–Gurtin’s thermodynamics approach. These dual conservation laws can be interpreted as the dual configurational force, and therefore they provide the dual energy–momentum tensor. Some previously unknown and yet interesting results in elasticity theory have been dis...
متن کاملDivergence-Measure Fields and Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
We analyze a class of L∞ vector fields, called divergence-measure fields. We establish the Gauss-Green formula, the normal traces over subsets of Lipschitz boundaries, and the product rule for this class of L∞ fields. Then we apply this theory to analyze L∞ entropy solutions of initial-boundary-value problems for hyperbolic conservation laws and to study the ways in which the solutions assume t...
