Quasi-static universal motions of homogeneous monotropic elastic rods

This thesis deals with solutions to the dynamic field equations for a director theory of rods. In order to make the analysis feasible, only quasi static motion is considered. Further simplification is obtained by using monotropic symmetry in the constitutive relations. The universal solutions to six...
