I'm interested in representing elastic deformation in terms of Lie groups/algebras. Is anyone working on this area ? I think it's easiest to start (end !) with homogeneous deformations. Thanks, John.
It seems that the field of Lie groups has recently caught a lot of attention for numerically solving symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian systems. I am not really working on that now, but since I am more on the computational part of mechanic, I would like to. Good books on the topic are
Mathematical foundations of elasticity by Jerrold E. Marsden,Thomas J. R. Hughes
and
Applications of Lie groups to differential equations by Peter J. Olver

There is also a good article on the subject,
