The structure of rank-one-convex quadratic forms on linear elastic strains
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 05:40 authored by Kewei ZhangWe classify the Morse indices for rank-convex quadratic forms defined on the space of linear elastic strains in two- and three-dimensional linear elasticity. For the higher-dimensional case n > 3, we give a universal lower bound of the largest possible Morse index and various upper bound of this index. We show in the three-dimensional case that the Morse index is at most 1, and in this case the nullity cannot exceed 2. Examples are given that show that the estimates can be reached. We apply the results to study the critical points for smooth rank-one convex functions defined on the space of linear strains. We also examine an example and construct a quasiconvex function that vanishes in a finite set in the direct sum of the null subspace and the negative subspace of the rank-one quadratic form.
