Abstract: In this note we extend integrability conditions for the symmetric stretch tensor U in the polar decomposition of the deformation gradient ablavarphi=F=R,U to the non-symmetric case. In doing so we recover integrability conditions for the first Cosserat deformation tensor. Let with and . Then giving a connection between the first Cosserat deformation tensor and the second Cosserat tensor mathfrakK. (Here, Anti denotes an isomorphism between mathbbR3imes3 and mathfrakSo(3):=,mathfrakAinmathbbR3imes3imes3,|,mathfrakA.uinmathfrakso(3);foralluinmathbbR3.) The formula shows that it is not possible to prescribe and mathfrakK independent from each other. We also propose a new energy formulation of geometrically nonlinear Cosserat models which completely separate the effects of nonsymmetric straining and curvature. For very weak constitutive assumptions (no direct boundary condition on rotations, zero Cosserat couple modulus, quadratic curvature energy) we show existence of minimizers in Sobolev-spaces.
