Synopsis

This paper uses previous results of Chillingworth, Marsden and Wan on symmetry and bifurcation for the traction problem in three dimensional elastostatics to establish new results on the Signorini expansion. We show that the Signorini compatibility conditions are necessary and sufficient for linearization stability and analogies with results known for other field theories are pointed out. Under an explicit non-degeneracy condition, a new series expansion is given in which successive terms are inductively determined in pairs rather than singly. Our results include as special cases, classical results of Signorini, Tolotti and Stoppelli.
