Let \(D\subset \mathbb R^3\) be a bounded domain with a smooth boundary \(\Gamma\), and let \(\Theta\subset D\) be a smooth two-dimensional surface. Put \(\Omega=D\setminus \Theta\) and \(K_0=\{u=(u_1,u_2,u_3)\in W_2^1(\Omega):\;u|_{\Gamma}=0, [u]\nu\geq 0\;\text{on} \Theta\}\), where the symbol \([u]=u^+-u^-\) stands for the jump of \(u\) on \(\Theta\) (\(u^{\pm}\) are the values of \(u\) on distinct sides of the cut \(\Theta\)), and \(\nu\) is the unit normal to \(\Theta\). Under consideration is the following problem of elasticity: find a solution \(u\in K_0\) of the variational inequality \[ \int_{\Omega} a_{ijkl} (\varepsilon_{ij}(v)- \varepsilon_{ij}(u)) d\Omega \geq \int_{\Omega} f(v-u) d\Omega,\;\forall v\in K_0, \] where the matrix \(a_{ijkl}\) is positive definite and \(\varepsilon_{ij}(v)=\frac{1}{2}(u_{k,l}+u_{l,k})\) (\(u_{k,l}=\frac{\partial u_k}{\partial x_l}\)). The corresponding energy functional is written as follows: \[ J(u)= \tfrac{1}{2}\int_{\Omega} a_{ijkl}\varepsilon_{kl}(u)\varepsilon_{ij}(u) d\Omega -\int_{\Omega}fu d\Omega. \] Denote by \(J(\Omega)\) the quantity \(J(u)\), with \(u\) being a solution to the above problem. Given a family of domains \(\Omega_t\) and a family of one-to-one smooth mappings \(y=\Phi_t(x)\) (\(\Phi_0(x)\equiv x\)) of \(\Omega_t\) onto \(\Omega\) with strictly positive Jacobians, the author reduces the problem to determination of the derivative \(\frac{d J(\Omega_t)}{dt}|_{t=0}\) of the energy functional \(J(\Omega_t)\) (in this case, in the definition of the set \(K_0\), \(\Theta_t=\Phi_t^{-1}(\Theta)\) and \(\Gamma_t=\partial \Omega_t\setminus \Theta_t\)). The main result is an explicit representation for this derivative. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0959.00045].
