Elastocapillarity

These notes are part of a course on advanced elasticity.  The notes recall several phenomena where both elasticity and surface energy are significant, including

  • Griffith crack
  • Adhesion of flexible structures
  • Wafer bonding
  • Contraction of a soft elastic sheet 

The notes also contain a formulation of combined surface energy and elasticity of finite deformation.

Compatibility Equations of Nonlinear Elasticity for Non-Simply-Connected Bodies

Compatibility equations of elasticity are almost 150 years old. Interestingly they do not seem to have been rigorously studied for non-simply-connected bodies to this date. In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient compatibility equations of nonlinear elasticity for arbitrary non-simply-connected bodies when the ambient space is Euclidean. For a non-simply-connected body, a measure of strain may not be compatible even if the standard compatibility equations ("bulk" compatibility equations) are satisfied.

Gurson's PhD thesis report

Greetings,

As I was struggling for several months to find Gurson's PhD thesis report and as I received many emails from people who were also not finding this reference and asking for help, let me share a scan of the thesis report that I managed to get thanks to a kind and helpfull professor.

Best,

Marieme Imene
