Analytical continuum mechanics à la Hamilton-Piola least action principle for second gradient continua and capillary fluids
TLDR
In this article, a Lagrangian action is proved to hold for capillary fluids, i.e. fluids for which the deformation energy has the form suggested, starting from molecular arguments.Abstract:
In this paper a stationary action principle is proved to hold for capillary fluids, i.e. fluids for which the deformation energy has the form suggested, starting from molecular arguments. We remark that these fluids are sometimes also called Korteweg–de Vries or Cahn–Allen fluids. In general, continua whose deformation energy depends on the second gradient of placement are called second gradient (or Piola–Toupin, Mindlin, Green–Rivlin, Germain or second grade) continua. In the present paper, a material description for second gradient continua is formulated. A Lagrangian action is introduced in both the material and spatial descriptions and the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equations and boundary conditions are found. These conditions are formulated in terms of an objective deformation energy volume density in two cases: when this energy is assumed to depend on either C and ∇C or on C−1 and ∇C−1, where C is the Cauchy–Green deformation tensor. When particularized to energies which characterize fluid materia...read more

At the origins and in the vanguard of peri-dynamics, non-local and higher gradient continuum mechanics. An underestimated and still topical contribution of Gabrio Piola
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that non-local and higher gradient continuum mechanics was conceived already in Piola's works and explain the reasons of the unfortunate circumstance which caused the erasure of the memory of this aspect of Piola contribution.

TL;DR: P pantographic metamaterials undergo very large deformations while remaining in the elastic regime, are very tough in resisting to damage phenomena, and exhibit robust macroscopic mechanical behavior with respect to minor changes in their microstructure and micromechanical properties.
