Abstract

In this paper we present a direct derivation of a theory of heterogeneous wires starting from three-dimensional nonlinear hyperelasticity augmented by an interfacial energy term. The derivation involves no a priori choice of asymptotic expansion or ansatz. It yields a wire theory with two Cosserat vector fields. The theory is applied to multiwell energy functions appropriate for martensitic materials. A formal derivation of higher theories of homogeneous wires is given, which yields three additional Cosserat vector fields and an explicit form for the bending and torsion energy.
