Some geometrical aspects of gravitational waves using continuum mechanics analogy: State of the art and potential consequences
David Izabel, Yves Remond, Matteo Luca Ruggiero
In this study, the authors employ the analogy between continuum mechanics and general relativity to investigate, from the perspective of elasticity and crystal plasticity, the defo…

Analogy of space-time as an elastic medium -- Study of the perturbation tensor of the metric through the prism of the analogy of the theory of elasticity -- Analysis and potential consequences
David Izabel, Yves Remond, Matteo Lucas Ruggiero
A state of the art of the different deformations of space-time measured for more than a hundred years in the case of general relativity in the weak field is carried out. The phenom…
