Abstract Nonlinear elastic models are widely used to describe the elastic response of crystalline solids, for example, the well-known Cauchy–Born model. While the Cauchy–Born model only depends on the strain, effects of higher-order strain gradients are significant and higher-order continuum models are preferred in various applications such as defect dynamics and modeling of carbon nanotubes. In this paper we rigorously derive a higher-order nonlinear elasticity model for crystals from its atomistic description in one dimension. We show that, compared to the second-order accuracy of the Cauchy–Born model, the higher-order continuum model in this paper is of fourth-order accuracy with respect to the interatomic spacing in the thermal dynamic limit. In addition we discuss the key issues for the derivation of higher-order continuum models in more general cases. The theoretical convergence results are demonstrated by numerical experiments.

Abstract We discuss the nonlinear elastic response in scale invariant solids. Following previous work, we split the analysis into two basic options: according to whether scale invariance (SI) is a manifest or a spontaneously broken symmetry. In the latter case, one can employ effective field theory methods, whereas in the former we use holographic methods. We focus on a simple class of holographic models that exhibit elastic behaviour, and obtain their nonlinear stress-strain curves as well as an estimate of the elasticity bounds — the maximum possible deformation in the elastic (reversible) regime. The bounds differ substantially in the manifest or spontaneously broken SI cases, even when the same stress- strain curve is assumed in both cases. Additionally, the hyper-elastic subset of models (that allow for large deformations) is found to have stress-strain curves akin to natural rubber. The holographic instances in this category, which we dub black rubber, display richer stress- strain curves — with two different power-law regimes at different magnitudes of the strain.
