We study in dimension 3 the motion of a solid with large deformations. The solid may be loaded on its surface by needles, rods, beams, shells, etc. Therefore, it is wise to choose a third gradient theory for the body. It is known that the stretch matrix of the polar decomposition has to be symmetric. This is an internal constraint, which introduces a reaction stress in the Piola–Kirchhoff–Boussinesq stress. We prove that there exists a motion that satisfies the complete equations of Mechanics in a convenient variational framework. This motion is local-in-time for it may be interrupted by a crushing, which entails a discontinuity of velocity with respect to time, i.e., an internal collision.

Abstract
We study in dimension 3 the motion of a solid with large deformations. The solid may be loaded on its surface by needles, rods, beams, shells, etc. Therefore, it is wise to choose a third gradient theory for the body. It is known that the stretch matrix of the polar decomposition has to be symmetric. This is an internal constraint, which introduces a reaction stress in the Piola–Kirchhoff–Boussinesq stress. We prove that there exists a motion that satisfies the complete equations of Mechanics in a convenient variational framework. This motion is local-in-time for it may be interrupted by a crushing, which entails a discontinuity of velocity with respect to time, i.e., an internal collision.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
