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.
