On a Class of Higher-Order Pseudo-Rigid Bodies

Panayiotis Papadopoulos

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-1740, USA

A simple extension of the theory of pseudo-rigid bodies is proposed to allow for spatially inhomogeneous deformations of polynomial type. The kinematics of the admissible constrained motions and the corresponding balance laws are presented and discussed. A simple steady motion of such a higher-order elastic pseudo-rigid body is analyzed in detail to illustrate the applicability of the extended theory.

Key Words: pseudo-rigid body mechanics • nonlinear elasticity • constrained media
