ABSTRACT
The problem of characterizing the structure of an elastic network constrained to lie on a frozen curved surface appears in many areas of science and has been addressed by many different approaches, most notably, extending linear elasticity or through effective defect interaction models. In this Letter, we show that the problem can be solved by considering nonlinear elasticity in an exact form without resorting to any approximation in terms of geometric quantities. In this way, we are able to consider different effects that have been unwieldy or not viable to include in the past, such as a finite line tension, explicit dependence on the Poisson ratio, or the determination of the particle positions for the entire lattice. Several geometries with rotational symmetry are solved explicitly. Comparison with linear elasticity reveals an agreement that extends beyond its strict range of applicability. Implications for the problem of the characterization of virus assembly are also discussed.
