Abstract

With the help of the concept of work done by the deformation of an elastic body an uniqueness condition in nonlinear elasticity is interpreted. A work theorem is reformulated.

Resume

A l'aide de concept de travail donné par la deformation d'un materiaux élastique on discute la signification physique d'une condition d'unicité en élasticité non linéaire. Une théorème de travail est reformulé.
