We study properties of the fourth rank elasticity tensor C within linear elasticity theory. First C is irreducibly decomposed under the linear group into a "Cauchy piece" S (with 15 independent components) and a "non-Cauchy piece" A (with 6…
In linear elasticity, we decompose the elasticity tensor into two irreducible pieces with 15 and 6 independent components, respectively. The {\it vanishing} of the piece with 6 independent components corresponds to the Cauchy relations.…
We study the quadratic invariants of the elasticity tensor in the framework of its unique irreducible decomposition. The key point is that this decomposition generates the direct sum reduction of the elasticity tensor space. The…
The Cauchy relations distinguish between rari- and multi-constant linear elasticity theories. These relations are treated in this paper in a form that is invariant under two groups of transformations: indices permutation and general linear…
In the context of linear theories of generalized elasticity including those for homogeneous micropolar media, quasicrystals, piezoelectric and piezomagnetic media, we explore the concept of null Lagrangians. For obtaining the family of null…
This article is a description of elasticity theory for readers with mathematical background. The first sections are an abridgment of parts of the book by Marsden and Hughes, including a compact identification of the equations of motion as…
In linear elasticity, a fourth order elasticity (stiffness) tensor of 21 independent components completely describes deformation properties of a material. Due to Voigt, this tensor is conventionally represented by a $6\times 6$ symmetric…
We derive the atomistic representations of the elastic tensors appearing in the linearized theory of first strain-gradient elasticity for an arbitrary multi-lattice. In addition to the classical (2nd-Piola) stress and elastic moduli…
The classification of all fourth-order anisotropic tensor classes for classical linear elasticity is well known. In this article, we review the related problem of explicitly computing the dimension and the expressions of the elements…
Third-order tensors are widely used as a mathematical tool for modeling physical properties of media in solid state physics. In most cases, they arise as constitutive tensors of proportionality between basic physics quantities. The…
Using bases of fourth rank tensorial bases of complete Voigt's symmetry elaborated by Walpole we obtained expressions for inverse of Young's modulus E, inverse of shear modulus G and Poisson's ratio, which depend on components of the…
Incompressibility is established for three-dimensional and two-dimensional deformations of an anisotropic linearly elastic material, as conditions to be satisfied by the elastic compliances. These conditions make it straightforward to…
In this paper, we study the anisotropy classes of the fourth order elastic tensors of the relaxed micromorphic model, also introducing their second order counterpart by using a Voigt-type vector notation. In strong contrast with the usual…
We discuss the decomposition of the tensorial relaxation function for isotropic and transversely isotropic Modified Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic models. We show how to formulate the constitutive equation by using a convenient decomposition of…
In the theory of weakly non-linear elasticity, Hamilton et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. \textbf{116} (2004) 41] identified $W = \mu I_2 + (A/3)I_3 + D I_2^2$ as the fourth-order expansion of the strain-energy density for incompressible…
The homogenization results obtained by Bacca et al. (Homogenization of heterogeneous Cauchy-elastic materials leads to Mindlin second-gradient elasticity. Part I: Closed form expression for the effective higher-order constitutive tensor.…
A one-dimensional wave propagation through elastically asymmetric media is investigated. A class of metamaterials possessing an arbitrary elastic asymmetry is proposed. This asymmetry results in different wave speeds of tensile and…
In the framework of multiple-scattering theory, we show that the dispersion relations of certain electromagnetic (EM) and elastic metamaterials can be obtained analytically in the long-wavelength limit. Specific examples are given to the…
New results are presented for the degeneracy condition of elastic waves in anisotropic materials. The existence of acoustic axes involves a traceless symmetric third order tensor that must vanish identically. It is shown that all previous…
In this article, we present various new results on Cauchy tensors and Hankel tensors. { We first introduce the concept of generalized Cauchy tensors which extends Cauchy tensors in the current literature, and provide several conditions…
