Abstract

Following the work of Carter on nonlinear perfectly elastic solid and perfect nonlinearly polarizable nonconducting solid, we have constructed models whose free gravitational field is of Petrov typeD: (i) in inertial reference frame (IRF), (ii) with pure expansion and (iii) with pure rotation with the assumption that the flow field is expressible in terms of two real null vectors of the Newman-Penrose (N-P) tetrad. By using the strain variation equation, the necessary and sufficient conditions on the dynamical variables are obtained in Newman-Penrose version. We observe that the initial pressure tensor depends on the polarizable and electromagnetic properties of the material. Further, we conclude that there does not exist such a material with pure expansion but there exists such a material moving rigidly with or without rotation. We obtain the Hawking energy conditions and invariants for this material in IRF.
