Recovery of a displacement field on a surface from its linearized change of metric and change of curvature tensors
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 344 (2007) no. 9, pp. 597-602

We establish that the components of the linearized change of metric and change of curvature tensors associated with a displacement field of a surface in R3 must satisfy compatibility conditions, which are the analogues ‘on a surface’ of the Saint Venant equations in three-dimensional elasticity.

We next show that, conversely, if two symmetric matrix fields of order two satisfy these compatibility conditions over a simply-connected surface S⊂R3, then they are the linearized change of metric and change of curvature tensors associated with a displacement field of the surface S.

On montre que les composantes des tenseurs linéarisés de changement de métrique et de changement de courbure associés à un champ de déplacements d'une surface de R3 doivent satisfaire certaines relations de compatibilité, qui sont les analogues « sur une surface » des relations de Saint Venant en élasticité tri-dimensionnelle.

On montre ensuite que, inversement, si deux champs de matrices symétriques d'ordre deux satisfont ces mêmes relations de compatibilité sur une surface S⊂R3 simplement connexe, alors ce sont les tenseurs linéarisés de changement de métrique et de changement de courbure d'un champ de déplacements de la surface S.
