Abstract

The basic concepts and fundamental framework for the theory of elasticity for quasi-crystalline materials, including some one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) quasi-crystals were studied. It shows that Fourier method is widely effective, and the complex variable function theory method for some boundary value problems of quasi-crystals is also powerful. A variational principle was proposed, based on which the generalized solutions or weak solutions can be found. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with the analytic solutions.
