These notes are part of a course on advanced elasticity. The notes recall several phenomena where both elasticity and surface energy are significant, including
The notes also contain a formulation of combined surface energy and elasticity of finite deformation.
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.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the co-organizers, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium on "Symposium on Advanced Nanomanufacturing and Mechanics of Structural Nanomaterials", Topic 10-7 under track "Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids" at the upcoming 2013 ASME IMECE conference to be held in San Diego, CA from November 15-21.
It is our pleasure to inform you about the Third African Conference on Computational Mechanics, which will take place in Livingstone, Zambia between 30 July and 2 August 2013. The conference is held under the auspices of the IACM, ECCOMAS, and SAAM. Please refer to www.africomp.com for further details.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
On behalf of the co-organizers, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium on Multiphysics Simulations and Experiments for Solids as part of the upcoming 2013 ASME IMECE conference to be held at San Diego, CA from November 15-21. This symposium is a continuation of the previous symposia that have been successfully organized in the previous ASME IMECE conferences.

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
