Some Research Directions in Finite Elasticity Theory.

Abstract

A number of topics in finite elasticity theory which appear to lend themselves to further development are briefly discussed. These include (i) the effect of kinematic constraints which are exactly, or approximately, satisfied; (ii) the mechanics of elastic membranes; (iii) the applicability of results in finite elasticity theory to problems involving stress relaxing materials; (iv) the development of necessary and sufficient conditions for materials stability of isotropic elastic materials; (v) the conditions for bifurcation solutions to exist in deformed elastic bodies.
