Résumé

En 1977, John Ball a obtenu une série de résultats d'existence très importants en hyperélasticité. L'objet de cet article est l'extension de ses résultats dans deux directions, premièrement en considérant des conditions aux limites unilatérales correspondant au contact sans frottement, deuxièmement en admettant une contrainte de “blocage” dans l'ensemble des déformations admissibles.

Abstract

In 1977 John Ball obtained a series of very important existence results in hyperelasticity. The objective of the present paper is to extend his results in two directions, first by considering unilateral boundary conditions corresponding to contact without friction, secondly by allowing “locking” constraints in the set of admissible deformations.
