Abstract Two variational principles are derived for the mixed boundary value problem of Cosserat solid. These principles are a generalization of the stationary principle of potential energy and the stationary principle of complementary energy from non-linear theory of elasticity. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

1. Basic equations In the following discussion, all quantities are referred to the reference con"guration which is an undistorted stress-free con"guration. They are therefore functions of the coordinates of the place occupied by a particle X in reference con"guration. The deformation of a Cosserat body is described [1] by y "y (x ), R "R (x ), (1.1) G G H GH GH I where x and y are the coordinates of place occuG G pied by the particle X in the reference con"guration and in the present con"guration respectively, R are the components of a proper orthogonal GH tensor R which characterizes the rotation undergone by the material particles. The components of the tensor R can be represented [2] in the form R "[(1! ) # #e ]/ GH I I GH G H HGN N (1# ), F F E-mail address: i }

It is easy to show that (2.6) are necessary and su$cient conditions in order that system (2.5) be a Jacobean system [5]. The general integral of the system will be a function of one variable. We shall consider only the case in which the function G depends only of microrotation tensor (G"G(R)). Theorem.

To prove this theorem, we compute the variation J(u, ) when u"0 on S and "0 on S . An easy calculation, making use of relations (3.1), (3.3), (1.6) , (2.1), (2.24), (2.25) and the divergence theorem, gives the result
