Abstract

We are concerned with the free boundary problem of three-dimensional incompressible neo-Hookean elastodynamics in physical vacuum, which describes the motion of neo-Hookean elastic waves in an incompressible material. Up to now, only local-in-time a priori estimates for the solutions of the problem has been established by Hao-Wang [16] through a geometrical viewpoint. In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness of the problem in spirit of the arguments developed recently by Gu-Wang [14]. Our method is based on the use of Alinhac good unknowns, the suitable approximations both nonlinear and linear, and delicate energy estimates.
