“…Yet, numerical optimization favors (u, a 1 ) over (u, a 3 ), underlining that the energy landscape for geometrically nonlinear Cosserat materials is extremely complicated and emphasizing why it is so hard to numerically compute the correct global minimizers. In comparison with Equation (91), the theoretical infimal energy is E(u, a 1 ) = m 2 g 2 = 0:32, but (u, a 1 ) violates the consistent coupling condition (27).…”
