Abstract

We provide sharp geometric descriptions of boundary singularities in the form of cusps that can be created by a deformation of a hyperelastic body which stores a given bi-Sobolev type energy. Guided by Hookes’ Law, we investigate when the deformed configuration returns to its original shape by applying the inverse deformation with the same finite energy.
