What is Elasticity

Description of distortions of rigid bodies


and the energy, forces, and fluctuations
arising from these distortions.
Describes mechanics of extended
bodies from the macroscopic to the
microscopic, from bridges to the
cytoskeleton.

Linear and Nonlinear Elasticity
Linear: Small deformations L near 1
Nonlinear: Large deformations L >>1
Why nonlinear?
Systems can undergo large deformations rubbers,
polymer networks ,
Non-linear theory needed to understand properties of
statically strained materials
Non-linearities can renormalize nature of elasticity
Elegant an complex theory of interest in its own right
Why now:
New interest in biological materials under large strain
Liquid crystal elastomers exotic nonlinear behavior
Old subject but difficult to penetrate worth a fresh look

Deformations and Strain
Complete information about shape of body in R(x)= x +u(x);
u= const. translation no energy.
No energy cost unless u(x) varies in space.
For slow variations, use the Cauchy deformation tensor

The elastic energy should be invariant under rigid rotations
in the target space: if is a function of u.

This energy is automatically invariant under rotations in
target space. It must also be invariant under the point-
group operations of the reference space. These place
constraints on the form of the elastic constants.
Note there can be a linear stress-like term. This can
be removed (except for transverse random components)
by redefinition of the reference space

target space. It is a symmetric tensor in the target space.

Coupling to other fields
We are often interested in the coupling of target-space vectors
like an electric field or the nematic director to elastic strain.
How is this done? The strain tensor u is a scalar in the
target space, and it can only couple to target-space scalars,
not vectors.
Answer lies in the polar decomposition theorem

L = L(LT L )- 1/ 2 (LT L )1/ 2 Q M 1/ 2


% % T % % %% %%- 1/ 2
M = L L = (d + 2u ); Q = L M
% %% % % % %%
OOT = L M - 1/ 2 (L M - 1/ 2 )T = L M - 1/ 2M - 1/ 2LT = L(LT L )- 1 LT = d
%% %% %% %% % % %% % % %
M is symmetric and depends on u only.
% %
O is an orthogonal, unimodular rotation matrix
%
7/18/05 Princeton Elasticity Lectures
Target-reference conversion
The rotation matrix O converts target-space
%
vectors E i to reference-space vectors E%a and vice-versa

E i = Oi a E%a ; E%a = O aTi E i

If L is symmetric, Oi a = di a .
%
Oi a di a + 21 ( a u i - iu a )
di a - ei a k Wk

To linear order in u, Oi has a term proportional to the


antisymmetric part of the strain matrix.
