Introduction

Boundary conditions in second gradient or higher order theories

It is commonly accepted in continuum mechanics that mechanical interactions are due to surface contact forces. These interactions forces being represented by the stress tensor σ (Cauchy theorem). When dealing with equilibrium of elastic media, this description can easily be recovered through variational considerations. Consider for instance a very simple elastic material with elastic energy

E(u) =

  • Ω(A∇u)·∇u

submitted to some volume forces f and surface boundary forces F. The equilibrium displacement u minimizes ˜ E(u)−

  • Ω f · u −
  • ∂Ω F · u.

Setting σ = 2A∇u, the variational formulation reads

∀v,

  • Ω σ·∇v −

f · v −

  • ∂Ω

F · v = 0 leading (through an integration by parts) to the PDE formulation div(σ)+ f = 0 on Ω,

σ· n− F = 0 on ∂Ω

The last condition being replaced by its dual one u = 0 on any part of the boundary wherever the displacement is imposed. P . Seppecher (IMATH Toulon) () Linear elastic trusses leading to continua with exotic mechanical interactions.

We set x = (x1,x2). We denote u[i] = (u1[i],u2[i]) the displacement of (blue) node i (i ∈ {1,...N}. Computation is straightforward if we moreover assume a very high (infinite) stiffness for the horizontal bars. Then ∀i, u1[i] = 0. The elastic energy contained in the structure depends only on the transverse displacement u2. In a part i−1

Effect of the extra boundary condition.

For our truss the solution depends on the extra boundary condition:

  • applying a vanishing density of torques G = 0 at x1 = 0 gives no solution : the floppy mode is activated.
  • applying a non-vanishing density of torques at x1 = 0, by imposing the dual condition ∂u2/∂x1 = 0, gives a solution.
