Abstract

Variational principle for a solid in classical mechanics is formulated in terms of a thin elastic 4D bar strain in Minkowsky events space of special relativity. It is shown, that the sum of elastic 4-energies of weak twist and bending under some identifications takes the form of classical non-relativistic action for a solids dynamics. The necessary conditions on 4D bar parameters and elastic constants, providing validity of Newton mechanics, are found.
