Abstract: | The incompressible limit in nonlinear elasticity is shown to fall under the theory of singular limits of quasilinear symmetric hyperbolic systems developed by Klainerman and Majda. Specifically, initial-value problems for a family of hyperelastic materials with stored energy functions $$W\left( {\frac{{\partial x}}{{\partial X}}} \right) = W_\infty \left( {\frac{{\partial x}}{{\partial X}}} \right) + \lambda ^2 w\left( {\det \frac{{\partial x}}{{\partial X}}} \right)$$ are considered, whereX andx are reference and deformed coordinates respectively. Under the assumption that the elasticity tensor $$A_{kl}^{ij} \equiv \frac{{\partial ^2 W_\infty }}{{\partial \left( {\frac{{\partial x^i }}{{\partial X^k }}} \right)\partial \left( {\frac{{\partial x^j }}{{\partial X^l }}} \right)}}$$ is positive definite near the identity matrix and thatw″(1)>0, the following results are proven for appropriate initial data: i) existence of solutions of the corresponding evolution equations on a time interval independent of λ as λ→∞, and ii) convergence as λ → ∞ of the solutions to a solution of the incompressible elastodynamics equations. |
