Again anti-plane shear

Abstract

We reconsider anti-plane shear deformations of the form $\phi (x)=(x_1,x_2,x_3+u(x_1,x_2))$ based on prior work of Knowles and relate the existence of anti-plane shear deformations to fundamental constitutive concepts of elasticity theory like polyconvexity, rank-one convexity and tension-compression symmetry. In addition, we provide finite-element simulations to visualize our theoretical findings.
