Rank-one convexity implies polyconvexity for isotropic, objective and isochoric elastic energies in the two-dimensional case

Rank-one convexity implies polyconvexity for isotropic, objective and isochoric elastic energies in the two-dimensional case

We show that, in the two-dimensional case, every objective, isotropic and isochoric energy function that is rank-one convex on GL + (2) is already polyconvex on GL + (2). Thus, we answer in the negative Morrey's conjecture in the subclass of isochoric nonlinear energies, since polyconvexity implies quasi-convexity. Our methods …
