Saint Venant compatibility equations in curvilinear coordinates
Résumé
We establish that the linearized strains in curvilinear coordinates associated with a given displacement field necessarily satisfy “Saint Venant equations in curvilinear coordinates”. Furthermore, we show that these equations are also sufficient, in the following sense: If a symmetric matrix field defined over a simply- connected open set satisfies the Saint Venant equations in curvilinear coordinates, then its coefficients are the linearized strains associated with a displacement field. In addition, our proof provides an explicit algorithm for recovering such a displacement field from its linear strains in curvilinear coordinates. This algorithm may be viewed as the linear counterpart of the reconstruction of an immersion from a given flat Riemannian metric.
