Description:
- Nonlinear elasticity: derivation of the equilibrium equations.
- Existence theory via the implicit function theorem (Korn inequality, existence theory for linearized elasticity) and by variational methods (polyconvexity, weak continuity of minors, Ball's Theorem).
- Properties of solutions: global invertibility, singularities (cavitations).
- Rigorous relation between nonlinear and linearized elasticity in terms of Gamma-convergence.
- If time permits, lower dimensional models.
