On path-independent integrals within the linear theory of elasticity. (English) Zbl 1203.74057

Summary: Conservation laws and associated path-independent integrals play a dominant role in field theories ranging from theoretical physics to applied engineering. Especially, material conservation laws are widely used to assess structural components with flaws like defects or cracks. Within the linear theory of elasticity, a complete set of conservation laws are derived by employing the so-called Neutral-Action method. An illustrative application is discussed.
