Abstract

Dual conservation laws of linear planar elasticity theory have been systematically studied based on stress function formalism. By employing generalized symmetry transformation or the Lie—Bäcklund transformation, a class of new dual conservation laws in planar elasticity have been discovered based on the Noether theorem and its Bessel—Hagen generalization. The physical implications of these dual conservation laws are discussed briefly.
