Abstract
The problem of minimization (or maximization) of the elastic energy de nsity is solved in the two-dimensional case for a nonlinear elastic so lid. The material behaviour is simulated on the basis of a power law s tress-strain relation. Closed-form solutions which include correspondi ng solutions for a linear elastic solid are obtained. The latter may g ive local as well as global maxima and minima, respectively.
