Compatibility conditions and equations of motion in the linear micropolar theory of elasticity

An analog of Cesàro’s formula and several compatibility conditions are given for the three-dimensional and two-dimensional linear micropolar theory of elasticity in the form different from that used in the literature. A number of formulas are obtained to determine the antisymmetric part of the strain (stress) tensor in terms of the symmetric part of the strain tensor and the symmetric part of the bending-torsion (stress and couple-stress) tensor and to determine the antisymmetric part of the bending-torsion (couple-stress) tensor in terms of the symmetric part of the bending-torsion (couplestress) tensor. Some integro-differential equations of motion expressed in terms of the symmetric parts of the stress and couple-stress tensors are proposed for the micropolar theory of elasticity.
