The Maxwell equations are expressed in the material coordinate system of elasticity theory for moving, deforming bodies, and boundary conditions are derived there, highlighting the simplicity of the approach. Boundary conditions are derived in the material coordinate system and then transformed to the spatial coordinate system, simplifying analysis for moving, deforming bodies. The equations are shown to be form‑invariant under deformation, with explicit transformation laws for all electromagnetic quantities, a Lagrangian density yielding the Lorentz form in material coordinates, and the Lorentz form itself is not invariant to deformation.
The Maxwell electromagnetic equations are obtained expressed in the material coordinate system of elasticity theory for a moving, deforming body. They are shown to be form-invariant to the deformation transformation. The transformation laws for the electric field, the electric displacement, the magnetic induction, the magnetic intensity, the charge density, the current density, the vector and scalar potentials, the polarization, and the magentization are found. The boundary conditions on the fields are derived in the material coordinate system and the simplicity of the derivation for moving, deforming bodies is emphasized. The boundary conditions are then transformed to the familiar spatial coordinate system. A Lagrangian density capable of giving the Lorentz form of the electromagnetic equations in the material coordinate system is found. The Lorentz form of the equations is shown not to be form-invariant to the deformation transformation.
