Abstract

This paper is concerned with the dynamics of continua on differentiable manifolds. We present a covariant derivation of the equations of motion, viewing motion as a curve in an infinite-dimensional Banach manifold of embeddings of a body manifold in a space manifold. Our main application is the motion of residually-stressed elastic bodies, where the residual stresses result from a geometric incompatibility between body and space manifolds. We then study a particular example of elastic vibrations of a two-dimensional curved annulus embedded in a sphere.
