Synopsis

This paper gives a sufficient condition for almost-everywhere injectivity for nonlinear three dimensional elasticity similar to that of Claret-Necas [8], namely.

We prove that this relation is maintained under the weak convergence of minimising sequences for nonlinear elasticity problems. The existence and partial regularity of an “inverse” function are proved.
