Abstract

In this paper we study the role played, from an energy view-point, by the explicit solution of Saint-Venant for a right circular cylinder. By taking into account a harmonic solution with constant divergence, we consider Maisonneuve's solution and investigate the assumptions under which the explicit solutions form a particular case.

Sommario

In questo lavoro si esamina, da un punto di vista energetico, il ruolo che le soluzioni esplicite di Saint-Venant hanno all'interno dell'intera classe di soluzioni equipollenti per un cilindro circolare retto. A tale scopo facendo riferimento alla soluzione ottenuta da Maisonneuve, che minimizza l'energia di deformazione nell'intera classe delle soluzioni equipollenti, si vuole studiare se esiste una intersezione non nulla tra la classe delle soluzioni di Maisonneuve e la classe delle soluzioni armoniche a divergenza costante.
