Mechanical:Elasticity:LargeStrain:Isotropic — Isotropic large-strain elasticity.

Details

Description

The isotropic large strain elasticity Property specifies that the Stress depends nonlinearly on the gradients of the Displacement, u :

σi⁢j=Ci⁢j⁢k⁢l⁢ϵk⁢l
(6.19)

where σi⁢j is the Stress, Ci⁢j⁢k⁢l is an isotropic fourth rank tensor given by the modulus cijkl, and ϵ is the nonlinear geometric strain,

ϵi⁢j=12⁢(∂ui∂xj+∂uj∂xi+∂uk∂xi⁢∂uk∂xj).
(6.20)

This form of the geometric strain is invariant under rigid rotations, unlike its linear variant, Eq. (6.2).
