The Graves Condition for Incompressible Finite Elasticity
Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids

Abstract

The Graves and Weierstrass necessary conditions for minimizers are of central importance in the study of elastic materials that can undergo a change of phase. Proofs of these results applicable to the case of unconstrained materials abound. For the case of an incompressible material, however, only partial results have been established. Here, a complete proof is given.
