Abstract

In this paper, we consider weak solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equation to a variational energy functional modeling the geometrically nonlinear Cosserat micropolar elasticity of continua in dimension three, which is a system coupling between the Poisson equation and the equation of pp-harmonic maps (2p32\le p\le 3). We show that if a weak solutions is stationary, then its singular set is discrete for 2<p<32<p<3 and has zero 11-dimensional Hausdorff measure for p=2p=2. If, in addition, it is a stable-stationary weak solution, then it is regular everywhere when p[2,3215]p\in [2, \frac{32}{15}].
