3514 Non-Linear Elasticity
Non-linear elastic materials, in particular elas tic materials subjected to large strains, are
examined in this chapter. Mo st of the chapter is concerne d with hyperelastic materials,
that is, elastic materials for which the stress can be derived from an elastic strain-energy
potential function. Some of the different types of elastic materi al models are reviewed in §4.1. Hyperelastic
materials are studied in the sections which follow. General constitutive relations are
derived for both the material and spatial descriptions and for both compressible and
incompressible materials. It is shown how the principle of material frame-indifference
restricts the form a constitutive equation may take. The more commonly used isotropic material models are discussed in §4.4 and material anisotropy is discussed in §4.5.
A de-coupled formulation of hyperelasticity is presented, which is useful for materials
which are nearly incompressible. Finally, some of the equations for isotropic materials are linearised, showing how they are
consistent with the linear elastic model.

Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 3534.1 Elastic Solids
In this section is give n an overview of the comm on elasticity models.
4.1.1 The Linear Elastic Solid
The classical Linear Elastic model , or Hookean model , has the following linear
relationship between stress and strain:
mn ijmn ijCεσ= ⋅= ,:εσ C (4.1.1)
where ε is the small strain tensor, §2.7.
Strain Energy
In this purely mechanical theory of elastic materials, there is no di ssipation of energy – all
the energy of the loads is stored as elastic stra in energy in the material as it deforms, and
can be recovered. For the linear elastic material, the rate of de formation is equivalent to the rate of small-
strain,
εd&=, so the strain-energy function can be written as
εσd dW := (4.1.2)
and the total energy stored per unit volume over the complete history of straining is
∫=εσd W : (4.1.3)
nnd the stress can be written as
εσ∂∂=W (4.1.4)
Reduction in the number of I ndependent Elastic Constants
Since the stress and strain are symmetric, ji ijσσ= and nm mnεε= , the fourth-order
elasticity tensor of stiffness coefficien ts contains the minor symmetries 1.9.65,
ijlk jikl ijkl C C C == (4.1.5)
and so the 81 coefficients reduce to 36 independent coefficien ts. Further, since C is
independent of the strains,
e eεεεσ ::21: : C C=⋅==∫∫d d W (4.1.6)
Section 4.1
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 354and so
ee∂∂∂=WC (4.1.7)
Now
ij mn mn ijW W
εεεε ∂∂∂=∂∂∂ (4.1.8)
and it follows that C possesses the major symmetries :
mnij ijmn C C= (4.1.9)
This reduces the number of independent elastic constants from 36 to 21.
Problems involving Elastic Materials
The six constitutive equations 4.1.1, together with the equations of motion and the 6 kinematic relations relating the strain s to the displacements, Eqn. 2.7.2,
()2/, , ij ji ij u u+=ε , gives a set of 15 equations in the 15 unknowns: the six stress
components, the six strain components and the three displacement components.
To maintain a linear theory, the acceleration term in the equations of motion must be
linear; this is achieved by supposing the displacement gradients to be small:

i∂∂≈∂∂≈∂∂+∂∂== (4.1.10)
When this acceleration term is included, the problem is dynamic . When the equations of
equilibrium are used, the problem is static .
Compatibility
An alternative method of solution is to rem ove the displacements from the above system
and solve only for the stresses and strains. In this case the strain-displacement relations
are replaced by three compa tibility equations, and there are then 12 equations in 12
unknowns. Once the system is solved, the disp lacements can be obtained from the strains
by integration.
The Isotropic Linear Elastic Solid
When the material is isotropic, the constitu tive equation holds in any coordinate system,
mn ijmn ijCεσ ′=′ (4.1.11)
Section 4.1
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 355and so the tensor of elastic c onstants is isotropic. The most general fourth-order isotropic
tensor takes the form 1.10.7,

and the two elastic constants μλ, are called Lamé’s constants .
Problems in Isotropic Elasticity
The 15 equations mentioned earlier can be re duced by eliminating the strains from the
constitutive equation and the kinematic e quation, and then substituting the resultant
expression for stress into the equations of motion, giving Navier’s equations

where the new constant introduced is the bulk modulus κ. This last expression then
leads to the alternative form of the constitutive relations,

This expression shows that the stress can be decomposed into a s pherical component and
a deviatoric component. For a pure volume change, 0 dev=ε , and there are no shear
stresses, ()Iσσ tr= ; the bulk modulus is thus a measure of the resistance of the material
to volume changes.
4.1.2 Geometrically Non-Linear Elastic Materials
When the strains (displacement gradients) are not small, the behaviour of the material will inevitably be non-linear. This is due to the geometric non-linearity of the kinematic
strain-displacement relations, for example using the Green-Lagrange strains and the
reference configuration,

The Kirchhoff Material
The Kirchhoff material is an extension of the linear elastic model to the large strain range;
the constitutive relation is a linear tensor relation, but non-line arities enter through ()uE :
Section 4.1
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 357
mn ijmn ij EC S= = ,:E S C (4.1.22)
where S is the PK2 stress tensor and E is the Green-Lagrange strain. Since both S and E
are symmetric, the fourth-order tensor C has the minor symmetries, jimn ijmn C C= and
ijnm ijmn C C= , and so has 36 independent coefficients. Following the same arguments as
before, one can define a strain energy function (per unit reference volume)
ij ijdES dW d dW = = ,:ES (4.1.23)
and the total energy stored per unit volume over the complete history of straining is
E E ::21
21C= = =∫ mn ij ijmn ij ij EEC dES W (4.1.24)
and the stress can be written as
ijijEWSW
∂∂=∂∂= ,ES (4.1.25)
Again, the existence of the strain energy function implies that the matrix of elastic coefficients only has 21 i ndependent coefficients.
When the Kirchhoff material is isotropic, the constitutive relation reduces further to
()ij ij kk ij E E S μδλ μ λ 2 ,2 tr += += E IE S (4.1.26)
As mentioned in §2.7.2, the linear elastic m odel can not be used when there are large
rigid body rotations, even if the displacemen t gradients are not large. The Kirchhoff
model can be used in these cases.
4.1.3 Materially Non-Linear Elastic Materials
An elastic material might also exhibit
material non-linearity through a non-linear
constitutive equation, for example the Cauc hy stress might be some non-linear function of
a strain measure, or of the deformation gradient:
))((tFfσ= (4.1.27)
where f is some tensor function of the deformation gradient F. This constitutive equation
is called the Cauchy Elastic material model. As can be seen, the stress is dependent on
the current state only, and not on the path hist ory, a requirement of elasticity. However,
the stress in the case of a Cauc hy elastic material cannot in ge neral be written in terms of
a strain-energy function. In other words, the work done might be path-dependent.
Section 4.1
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 358Objectivity Requirements
The notion of objectivity was introduced in §2. 8. When formulating constitutive relations
for materials, one must ensure that the principle of material objectivity (or the principle
of material frame indifference ) be satisfied. This principle states that
A constitutive law must be independent of the location of the observer (or frame of
reference that is taken)
This implies that two observers, even if in relative motion with respect to each other,
observe the same stress in a given body. Cons ider the Cauchy elastic material 4.1.27.
The Cauchy stress is an objective tensor. Re ferring to the example of Eqns. 2.8.47-50 in
§2.8.4, objectivity requires that the constitutive relation be of the form
()TRURfσ= (4.1.28)
The constitutive relation can also be written in terms of other stress measures. For
example, using ()T T T TR PU RUP PFσ = ==J , one has
()1-J UURf P= (4.1.29)
For the PK2 stress, one has T 1−−=σFF SJ , so that
()1 1det-UUfUU S−= (4.1.30)
which does not depend on the rotation. This last relation can also be written in the form
() )( det2/1 2/1
22/1 2/1Cg C Cf CC S ≡ =− − (4.1.31)
This is clearly objective, since S and C are unaffected by an observer transformation,
S S=* and C C=*.
4.1.4 Hypoelastic Materials
A
hypoelastic material is one whose constitutive law relates the rate of stress to the rate
of deformation d. This can be written in terms of the Cauchy stress as ),(dσσf=& .
Consider a simple one-dimensional linear model,
dE=σ& (4.1.32)
Since, in one-dimension, the stretch is dXdx/=λ , the rate of deformation is equivalent
to the spatial velocity gradient l and the rate of change of a line element dx is
dxldt dxd=/)( , dividing through by dX gives λλ/&=d (see Eqn. 2.5.10), so that
λλλσσλλσ lnEdE d E ===→= ∫∫&
& (4.1.33)
Section 4.1
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 359
This shows that the stress is clearly pa th-independent, depending only on the current
stretch. In fact, the stress can be written as the derivative of a strain energy function
according to λ σ d dW/= , where λ/E W= .
In the three dimensional case, however, the ra te of deformation can not in general be
written as the rate of change of some simple function, dt d/)(•=d , and so the above
calculation cannot be done, implying that the hypoelastic material cannot be written in
terms of a potential function, and the work done is path-dep endent. The path-dependence
is, however, small when the strains are small.
4.1.5 Hyperelastic Materials
A
hyperelastic material (or Green elastic material) is defined to be an elastic material for
which a strain-energy function W exists, a scalar function of one of the strain or
deformation tensors, whose derivative with re spect to a strain component determines the
corresponding stress component. From the a bove, the linear elastic model, the Kirchhoff
model and the one-dimensional hypoelastic model are all examples of hyperelastic
materials. The hyperelastic material is a subset of the Cauchy-elastic material.
Hyperelastic material models for components und er large strains will be the subject of the
following sections.

The Hyperelastic material is examined in this section.
4.2.1 Constitutive Equations
The rate of change of internal energy W per unit reference volume is given by the stress
power, which can be expressed in a number of different ways (see §3.7.6):
CSESFPdσ &&& & : : : : ====J W (4.2.1)
The internal energy is regarded as a function of a deformation variable. For example,
The change in energy is due to the de formation which takes place, so take W to be a
function of, say, the deformation gradient ) (tF, )(FW . It is assumed that in the reference
configuration the stra in energy is zero, 0 )(
=IW , and that it grows with deformation,
0)(≥FW1.
The chain rule gives
FFF& & :)(
∂∂=WW (4.2.2)
From 4.2.1,
FFFFP & & :)(:∂∂=W (4.2.3)
Since F and F& can take on any value independent of the other, one must have
FFP∂∂=)(W (4.2.4)
This is a constitutive equation relating the kine matic variables to the force variables.
From 4.2.1, alternative forms are:
CCSEES∂∂=∂∂=)(2 ,)( W W (4.2.5)
The procedure used in Eqns. 4.2.2-4 cannot be used for the stress power relation dσ:J
since there is no function whose derivative is the rate of de formation. Instead, use the
relation 3.5.6, T 1PFσ−=J , 4.2.4, F P∂∂= /W , to get
1 and that it tends to infinity as the material is either compressed to a point, 0 det→= F J or expanded to
an infinite range, ∞→= FdetJ .

since U is also symmetric, UUCT= . One can see the similarity between this relation

4.2.2 Objectivity of the Constitutive Equations
An observer transformation (see §2.8) results in QF F=* and *CC= , so
C C C C ∂∂=∂∂ /)( /)(* *W W , and, so, from 4.2.12,
T T T 1 *2 QQσ QFCQF σ =∂∂=− WJ (4.2.16)
which is the objectivity requirement for a sp atial tensor and so this constitutive law
satisfies the requirement of material frame-indifference, when W is a function of C. This
evidently holds true also when W is a function of E. It does not, however, hold true in
general when W is a function of F, as in the constitutive law F F P ∂∂= /)(W . However,
with W a function of C, the constitutive equation 4.2.13 can be seen to be objective.
The objective constitutive equations in th is section are indicated by a box around them.

However, the stress is the derivative of the strain energy with respect to a kinematic
quantity, and the derivative of this last term, the second term in 4.2.29, is not be zero.
The scalar α is, or determines the magnitude of, a workless reaction stress. It ensures
that the constraint is satisfied; it is not set a value in the constitutive equation, rather, it is

4.3.1 Constitutive Equations for Isotropic Elastic Materials
Cauchy Stress and Isotropy
A material is said to be isotropic if a rotation of a particle (in the undeformed state) has
no influence on the stress tensor. From §2.8.6, the condition of isotropy is then
)( ) ( )( )(TFσ FQσ Fσ Fσ = →=◊ (4.3.1)
where the superscript ◊ refers to deformations relative to the rotated reference
configuration, Fig. 2.8.6. (This is often expressed in the equivalent form )( )( FQσ Fσ= .)
A Cauchy elastic material automatically satis fies the isotropy condition when the Cauchy
stress is an arbitrary te nsor-valued function of the left Cauchy-Green tensor:
)(bσσ= (4.3.2)
To see this, note that ) ( ))((TFFσ Fbσ= , so
()( )()()())( ) )( ( ) (T T T TT T TFbσ FFσ QF FQσ FQ FQσ FQbσ == = = (4.3.3)
Note that the condition of is otropy 4.3.1 must be satisfied for the particular rotation
RQ=, so a condition to be satisf ied by isotropic materials is
)( ) ( )( ) ( )(2/1 Tbσ bσ vσ FRσ Fσ === = (4.3.4)

In addition to satisfying the condition of isot ropy, the stress must sa tisfy the condition of
objectivity: ) (

§2.8.3. This requirement is automatically satisfied since both the Cauchy stress and the

Then, since TQCQ C=◊ (see Eqns. 2.8.58),
) ( )(T TQCQS QCQS = Isotropy Condition for the

Isotropic Tensor Functions
The constitutive relations 4.3.5 for the Cauchy stress and 4.3.7 for the PK2 stress are very
similar. In general, the s econd-order tensor-valued function T of the second-order tensor
variable B is an isotropic tensor functions if
()()T TQBQT QBQT = Isotropic Tensor Function (4.3.8)
for all orthogonal tensors Q. Thus, σ is an isotropic tensor func tion of the tensor variable
b and S is an isotropic tensor f unction of the tensor variable C. Isotropic functions are
discussed in the Appendix to this Chapter, §4. A, and there it is show n that, for symmetric
T and symmetric B, T must take t he form

Since the set of principal scalar invariants, the set { }3 2tr,tr,tr S SS and the set of
eigenvalues {}3 2 1,,λλλ uniquely determine one another, the coefficients iα can be taken
to be functions of any one of these three sets.

Since for an isotropic Cauchy-elastic solid, the Cauchy stress is an isotropic tensor
function of the left Cauchy-Green strain, ) (bσσ= , Eqn. 4.3.5 (a consequence of isotropy
and objectivity) and since σ and b are symmetric, it follows from 4.3.9 that the Cauchy

and these scalar functions are related through 4.3.13.
Similar forms hold for the PK2 stress as a f unction of the right Cauchy-Green strain.
4.3.2 Strain Energy and Isotropy
Consider the strain energy )(FW W= . From §2.8.4, objectivity requires that (see Eqn.
2.8.46),
)( )( U F W W= (4.3.16)
Also, the right stretch tensor is the square–r oot of the right Cauchy-Green tensor, so one
can write )(CW W= , which is clearly objective, since ) ( )(*C C W W= . In addition to the
objectivity requirement, is otropy requires that ) ( )(◊= C C W W , or, 2.8.58b
) ( )(TQCQ C W W= Isotropy Condition for the
(objective) Strain Energy (4.3.17)
Isotropic Scalar Functions
The strain energy of Eqn. 4.3.17 is also an isotropic function; in general, the scalar
function
φ of the second-order tensor variable B is an isotropic scalar functions if
()()B QBQφ φ =T Isotropic Scalar Function (4.3.18)
for all orthogonal tensors Q. Thus, W is an isotropic scalar func tion of the tensor variable
C. It is shown in the Appendix to th is Chapter, §4.A, that, for symmetric B, φ must take
the form
(){ }()B B B B III,II,Iφφ= Form for an isotropic scalar
function of a symmetric tensor (4.3.19)
Section 4.3
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 371Thus the strain energy for an isotropic elastic material must be a function only of the three
principal scalar invariants of the right Cauchy-Green strain (or of the three principal
values iλ). Since the invariants for the right- and left-Cauchy-Green strain tensors are
the same (see Eqn. 2.2.15), the strain energy can also be expressed as a function of the
invariants of b.

Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 374Principal Directions of the Cauchy Stress and Left Cauchy-Green Tensor
Recall that the eigenvalues of the right stretch tensor U are the principal stretches iλ, and
that the eigenvalues of th e right Cauchy-Green tensor C and the left Cauchy-Green tensor
b are the squares of the principal stretches, 2
iλ (the eigenvectors of b are those of C
rotated with the rotation tensor R). Taking nˆ to be an eigenvector of b and 2λ the
corresponding eigenvalue, and us ing the constitutive equation 2
2 1 0 b b Iσ ααα ++= , one
has
( )n nb nb nI nσ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ4

2 1 0 λαλααααα ++=++= (4.4.9)
Thus n nσ ˆ ˆσ= where σ is an eigenvalue of σ, the principal stress, given by term inside
the brackets, and so the eigenve ctors, or principal directi ons, of the Cauchy stress and b
coincide.
If one takes a deformation for which 0
23 13==b b , it follows from 4.4.8 that, for arbitrary
coefficient 1−β, one also has 023 13==σσ . The tensors b and σ are coaxial, that is,
σb bσ= . From this relation, one finds that one must have

However, the term inside the second brackets can also be zero for 2 1λλ≠, but this will
only occur for fairly large stre tches for typical values of th e material parameters. The
symmetric equal-stretch solution holds up until this happens. For example, for the typical
value 1.0 /1 1=−−αα , the second term becomes zero when 17.32 1≈=λλ . The
symmetric solution is unstable, in the sense that the forces must be precisely equal for it
to hold. If there is even the slightest imbalance between 1F and 2F, then 2 1λλ≈ up to
about a value of 3.17 but then the near-square will begin to deform into a rectangle, with
the response now keeping clos e to the asymmetric soluti on. The long side of the
rectangle will be along the direction of the slig htly larger force and will keep lengthening
until the stretch in the other direction returns back to 1=λ .
This large strain problem differs from the problems of linear elasticity, which have unique solutions.

The Mooney-Rivlin Model (Incompressible)
The Mooney-Rivlin model, applicable to incompressible materials, is

And, from 4.4.22, the stresses are then

From the simple shear example discussed in §4.4.4, the shear modulus for the Mooney-
Rivlin material is ()2 12 cc+ , implying that the shear stress to shear strain measure k is
linear.
The Mooney-Rivlin model is often used to model rubber-like materials and the numerical
value of
2c is usually much smaller than 1c.

Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 3864.5 Material Anisotropy
4.5.1 Material Symmetry
The isotropic material was defined as one whose material response was unaffected by
rigid body rotations of the reference confi guration. Other materi al symmetries are
possible; to generalise the notion, instead of considering orthogonal transformations,
consider an arbitrary deformation
0F of the reference configuration 0S bringing it to a
new configuration ◊S, Fig. 4.5.1 (compare with th e isotropic case, Fig. 2.8.6).

When Q F=0 , one has the isotropic material. Setting 1

Note that the restriction 1 det±=G is assumed, since otherwise arbitrary dilatations
could occur with no change in materi al response, which seems physically
unreasonable. Note that the set of all tensors
G which satisfy 4.5.2 forms a group (see the Appendix
to this Chapter, §4.A.2) and hence is called the symmetry group of the material (with
respect to the configuration 0S).
Apart from isotropy, the two most important practical cases of material symmetry are

4.5.2 Transverse Isotropy
Consider first the transversely isotropic material. Such a material has a single
preferred direction, defined by a unit vector
0a in the reference configuration. Such a
vector is illustrated in Fig. 4. 5.2, showing also the unit vectors 3 2ˆ,ˆnn completing an
orthonormal set. The symmetry group of the tran sversely isotropic material is the set
of orthogonal tensors Q which transform the set {}3 2 0,,nna into the new orthonormal
set {}3 2 0,,nna′′± . In particular,
0 0 a Qa±= (4.5.3)
In order to ensure that the sense of 0Qa is immaterial, it is best to introduce the
structural tensor 0 0a a⊗ , which transforms as the axes change according to

Isotropic Scalar-valued Functions
Consider first an isotropic scalar-valued function of a vector u, ()uφ , so that
() ( ) Qu uφφ= . Since only the magnitude of u is invariant under an orthogonal tensor
transformation, it follows that φ depends on u only through uuu⋅= , so ()uu⋅≡φφ .
Here, uu⋅ is called the integrity basis of φ.
Similarly, an isotropic scalar-valued f unction of two arguments is defined through
()()QvQu vu , ,φφ= (4.A.2)
for every orthogonal Q, and its integrity basis consists of the three scalar invariants
vvvuuu ⋅⋅⋅ , , (4.A.3)
since only the lengths of the two vectors a nd the angle between them are preserved under
a rotation.
Consider next a scalar-v alued isotropic function
φ of a symmetric second-order tensor S.
Since S is symnmeytric, it has the sp ectral decomposition representation ∑⊗=i ii s s Sλ ,
where {}3 2 1,,λλλ are the eigenvalues and {}3 2 1ˆ,ˆ,ˆ nnn are the eigenvectors of S. Since S
is isotropic,
()()( ) ( )( ) ∑ ∑ ⊗ =⊗ = =i i i i ii nQ nQ Qn n Q QSQ S ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆT Tλφ λφ φφ (4.A.4)
Thus φ is independent of the orientati on of the principal directions of S and so must
depend only on the three principal values,
()3 2 1,, )( λλλφ f=S (4.A.5)
Note also that f must be a symmetric function of the eigenvalues. For example, take Q to
be a positive rotation about 3ˆn. Then 2 1ˆ ˆ n nQ=, 1 2ˆ ˆ n nQ−= and3 3ˆ ˆ n nQ= , so
() ()3 1 2 3 33 2 21 1 12T,, )ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ( )( λλλ λ λ λφ φφ f=⊗+⊗+⊗= = n n n n n n QSQ S (4.A.6)
and, similarly, the subscripts on any pair of eigenvalues in 4.A.5 can be interchanged.
Since the set { }3 2tr,tr,tr S SS , the set of three principal scalar invariants {}S S S III,II,I and
the set of eigenvalues {}3 2 1,,λλλ uniquely determine one anothe r, any of these sets can
be regarded as the integrity basis of )(Sφ .

An isotropic tensor function T of a tensor B is coaxial with B.
This follows directly from 4.A.14, since nB has the same principal directions as B.

Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 4113. Let T be a symmetric isotropic tensor function of the symmetric tensor B; if in
addition the function T is a linear function of B, then it has the representation
()() B IB BT β α+ =tr (4.A.16)
where βα, are arbitrary consta nts (independent of B).
This follows directly from 4.A.14, noting that only the first invariant, Btr, is linear
in B. It will be noted that this is the form of the (isotropic) linear elastic material
model, 4.1.15.

4.A.2 The Symmetry Group
The nonempty set G with a binary operation, that is, to each pair of elements

there is assigned an element G ab∈, is called a group if the following axioms hold:
1. associative law : ) ( )( bcacab= for any Gcba∈,,
2. identity element : there exists an element Ge∈, called the identity element, such
that a ea ae==
3. inverse : for each Ga∈, there exists an element G a∈−1, called the inverse of a,
such that eaa aa ==−− 1 1
Consider the set of tensors G of 4.3.2. Since for two tensors 1G and 2G in G,
)( ) ( ) (1 2 1 Fσ FGσ GFGσ = = (4.A.23)
G∈2 1GG . The associative law clearly holds, the identity element is I and the inverse of
G is 1−G. Thus the set of tensors G forms a group.

Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 3605.2 Plasticity I: Hypoel astic-Plastic Models
The two main types of classical plasticity model for large strains are the hypoelastic-
plastic model and the hyperelastic-plastic model. The first of these is discussed in this
section.
5.2.1 Hypoelasticity
In the hypoelastic-plastic models of plasti city, the elastic response is assumed to be
hypoelastic. As discussed in §4.1.4, hypoelastic materials are characterised by
constitutive relations of the form
),(dσσf=& (5.2.1)
and, in mutiaxial problems, this implies that the response cannot be expressed in terms of
an elastic strain energy function. Thus the response is path-dependent and dissipation
may occur even though the material is supposed to be elastic. However, the idea with the
hypoelastic-plastic models is that the elastic strains are assumed to be relatively small so that any error in the conservation of energy is very small, and so can be neglected.
The stress-rate
σ& in the hypoelastic equation 5.2.1 must be objective. Thus the material
derivative of the Cauchy stress can not be used, but any of the many objective rates, for
example the Jaumann, Green-Naghdi, Truesdell, etc., can be used.
A large class of hypoelastic materials is encompassed in the linear relation between
objective stress-rate and the rate of deformation:
d Cσ :∇∇= (5.2.2)
where ∇σ is an objective stress rate and ∇C is the corresponding fourth order tensor of
elastic moduli, which may itself depend on the stress, in which case it must be an
objective function of the stress. For a given finitely deformed state, the (small)
increments in stress and strain are linearly related and are recovered upon unloading.
However, for finite deformations, the work done in a closed path may not be zero.
The elastic modulus tensor
∇C is also called the tangent modulus . It possesses the
minor symmetries due to the symmetry of d and ∇σ. It is usually assumed to possess also
the major symmetries.
Example
Consider the following hypoelas tic constitutive equation:
d Cσ :J Jσ=∇ (5.2.3)
where J∇σ is the Jaumann stress-rate, Eqn. 3.5.20, σw wσσ+−& . The Truesdell stress-
rate T∇σ, defined by Eqn. 3.5.22, ()σdσl lσσ trT+−−& , is then

where σd dσ dC +=:ˆ . Thus 5.2.3 can be expressed as d Cσ :T Tσ=∇ with the Truesdell
tangent modulus given by IσC C ⊗+−ˆ Jσ.
It is interesting to note that, if JσC is constant, then T∇σ is not. Further, if JσC has the
major symmetries, then T∇σ does not (since Iσ⊗ does not). For this reason one often
uses the Kirchhoff stress στJ= rather than the Cauchy stress. For example, the Jaumann
rate of the Kirchhoff stress is τw wτττ +−=∇&J. Then, with ) (trdJJ=& ,

Now if TσC has the major symmetries, then so does JτC.
5.2.2 Hypoelastic – Plastic Model
Additive Decomposition of the Rate of deformation
The rate of deformation is now decomposed additively into elastic and plastic parts
according to
p ed dd+= (5.2.6)
The elastic response is then
()p
e dd Cσ −=∇:σ (5.2.7)
The yield condition is
()0 ,=ασf (5.2.8)
where α represents any other variable(s) besides σ upon which f depends.
The flow rule is
()ασG d ,λ&=p (5.2.9)
Section 5.2
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 362The tensor G is usually expressed in the form ()σασ G ∂∂= /,g , where g is the plastic
potential; λ is the plastic multiplier. For associative flow-rules, gf=. The variables α
are assumed to follow an evolution law of the form
()ασAα ,λ&&= (5.2.10)
The loading and unloading conditions may be expressed as
0 ,0 ,0 =≤≥ f fλ λ & & (5.2.11)
These are known as the Kuhn-Tucker conditions . The first of these states that the
plastic multiplier rate is non-ne gative; for plastic loading, 0 >λ& , otherwise 0 =λ& . The
second states that the stress must lie on or inside the yield surface. The last condition
assures that the stress state remains on the yield surface during plastic flow. This last
condition can also be expressed in rate form, 0=f& . This is known as the consistency
condition :
0 : : =∂∂+∂∂= αασσ&&&f ff (5.2.12)
Isotropic Materials
From the objectivity requirement, the yield function ()ασ,f in Eqn. 5.2.8 must be an
objective scalar function of σ. This implies that f must be a function only of the
invariants of σ. Thus the form ()σf necessarily represents the yield function of an
isotropic material. For anisotropic materials, one must use a different stress measure, for
example the yield function could be expressed in term of the PK2 stress, () 0=Sf .
Consider then an isotropic material, with ()3 2 1,,IIIff= , where iI are the invariants of
σ. Then it can be shown that { ▲Problem 1}
σσσσ∂∂=∂∂ f f (5.2.13)
that is, the tensors σ and σ∂∂/f are coaxial.
Consider now a formulation in terms of the Jaumann stress-rate. From 5.2.13, it follows that {▲Problem 2}

The tensor JσC is the elasto-plastic tangent modulus . It consists of an elastic
component J
eσC and a component which results from plastic flow.
When the flow is associative, so that σ G∂∂= /f , the elasto-plastic modulus possesses
the major symmetries. The plasticity equations can also be based upon other stress-rates;
for example, the Truesdell stress-rate. For th e same reasons as discussed earlier, although
JσC has the major symmetries for associative flow rules, the Truesdell modulus will not.
If, however, the equations 5.2.6-17 are formulated in terms of the Kirchhoff stress, then
the Truesdell modulus will possess the major sy mmetries (in fact, all the relevant relations
above are valid for the Kirchhoff stress, with σ simply being replaced by τ). Note that,
if the elastic strains are small and plastic de formations are isochoric (volume preserving),
then 1≈J and στ≈.
Small Strains
In the case of small strains, in the above relations one replaces d with ε& and decomposes
the small strain rate according to p eεεε&&&+= . The stress rate is the time derivative of the
Cauchy stress, since objective stress-rates are not now a consideration. The hypoelastic
relation is ()pεεCσ &&&−=: and the remaining relations follow, for example the elasto-
plastic tangent modulus is given by 5.2.17b with σ
eC replaced with the small-strain elastic
modulus tensor C. The small-strain formulation is valid for anisotropic elastic moduli.
5.2.3 J 2 Flow Theory
In the J2 Flow Theory, one assumes the material is isotropic, plastic flow is independent
of the hydrostatic pressure, plastic flow is incompressible and the yield surface used is the
Section 5.2
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 364Von Mises yield surface. An effective stress is used to generalise the uniaxial behaviour
to multiaxial stress states.
First to be examined is the isotropic hardening model.
Isotropic Hardening
It is useful to express the equations 5.2.6-17 now in terms of the Kirchhoff stress and the
Jaumann stress-rate. In that case, one again has Eqn. 5.2.6,
p ed dd+= , with the
hypoelastic Eqn. 5.2.7 now reading

Section 5.2
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 366()G dα λ&c cp J==∇ (5.2.32)
Note that the use of the Jaumann rate in the back-stress evolution law can lead to
physically unreasonable stress oscillations in simple shear fo r large deformations
(Nagtegaal and DeJong, 1981). However, this behaviour is not significant provided the
elastic strains are not too large. A formulation based upon the Green-Naghdi strain can eliminate such stress oscillations (Johnson and Bammann, 1984).
5.2.4 Drucker – Prager Model

5.2.5 Elastic Moduli and Objectivity
It was mentioned above that objectivity re quires that a yield function of the form ()σf
necessarily represents an isotropic material. Objectivity also places restrictions on the
elastic moduli. First, consider a constant modulus tensor J
eτC. Objectivity of a
constitutive equation requires that
()()* *:e J
eJd Cττ=∇ (5.2.36)
or
()T T: QQd C Q Qτe J
eJ τ=∇ (5.2.37)
so, using the index notation,
() () [ ]()()kle
pqrsJ
e ls rk qj pi ijJQQQQ d C ττ=∇ (5.2.38)
In order that objectivity be satisfied, one must have
Section 5.2
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 367() ()pqrsJ
e ls rk qj pi ijklJ
e QQQQτ τC C= (5.2.39)
which shows that, if the modulus is constant, it must be isotropic .
If one requires an anisotropic elastic modulus, one must use a formulation based on a
configuration other than the sp atial configuration, as discus sed in the next sub-section.
5.2.6 Corotational Stress Formulation
The models discussed thus far have two drawbacks:
1. the yield function must be an isotropic function of the stress
2. if the elastic moduli are constant, then the moduli must be isotropic
To overcome these restrictions to isotropic ma terials, one can formulate a plasticity model
in terms of, for example, the corotational stress.
The corotational stress is defined by Eqn. 3.5.12,
σRRσT
U= (5.2.40)
Using a formulation based on the Kirchhoff st ress, the corotational Kirchhoff stress is

Note that rigid body rotations to the current configuration leave Uτ& and e
Ud unchanged
and so τ
eUC remains unchanged also. Thus, unlike the isotropic restriction 5.2.39, there is
no objectivity restriction here on the form of τ
eUC and so τ
eUC can represent in general an
anisotropic response.
Another way of looking at this is as follows: for an anisotropic material and using a
fixed
coordinate system, the components of an elastic modulus tensor C will in general change
as the material rotates. With the corotational formulation, however, the axes rotate with
the material, and so material rotation has no effect on τ
eUC.
The remainder of the formulation follows as before, for example the yield condition
would be () 0 ,U U=ατf and the flow rule ()U U U ,ατG dλ&=e. The evolution law for the
Uα variable(s) is ()U U U ,α Aατλ&&= . Again, the scalar yield function may now represent
in general anisotropic material behaviour . The loading and unloading conditions are
again given by 5.2.11.

Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 3715.3 Plasticity II: The Multip licative Decomposition of F
Whereas the hypoelastic-plastic formulation involved an additive decomposition (of the
deformation rate), the hyperelastic-plastic formulation involves a multiplicative
decomposition (of the deformation gradient).
5.3.1 The Multiplicativ e Decomposition of F
The key feature of the hyperelastic-plastic formulation is the multiplicative decomposition
of the deformation gradient according to
p eFFF= (5.3.1)
where eF and pF are, respectively, the elastic part of the deformation gradient and the
plastic part of the deformation gradient . pF, brings line elements Xd from the
undeformed configuration to an intermediate configuration XFx d dp= and then eF
brings them to their current location, Fig. 5.3.1.
XFFxFx d d dp e e== . (5.3.2)
Figure 5.3.1: Decomposition of the deformation gradient
The idea now is to relate the current state of stress to the elastic part of the deformation:

Section 5.3
Solid Mechanics Part III Kelly 372In other words, the intermediate configuration is stress-free. At any stage of the
deformation, one can imagine unloading the body instantaneously, arriving at the stress-
free intermediate configuration. Thus it appe ars that the intermediate configuration has a
clear physical interpretation – a configuration which encompasses any permanent
deformation after elastic unloading. Unfortunate ly, there are difficulties associated with
the intermediate configuration which makes it a more abstract concept than this. For example, consider a stressed element in the current configuration. Unload the element so
that it is stress free. According to 5.3.3, this is accomplished through
()1−eF back to the
intermediate configuration. Since each elem ent in the current configuration can undergo
this process independently, there is no reason that the individual elements will be
compatible in the intermediate configuration, and so the intermediate configuration is in general an incompatible configuration. Thus, although mappings of line elements
between the various configurations are given by Eqn. 5.3.2, the
eF and pF in 5.3.2
cannot necessarily be expressed as gradients of position vectors; they can be expressed as
gradients only in the special case where the deformation does lead to a compatible
intermediate configuration.
When the material is unloaded from the continuous current configuration (as in a thought
experiment), the body moves from a Euclidean space to the non-Euclidean space of the
intermediate configuration. The elastic pa rt of the deformation gradient restores
compatibility, bringing the body back into the Euclidean space of the current configuration.
It is thus best to consider the decomposition 5.3.1 as merely a mathematical means by which the constitutive response of a material can be conveniently described. It is not to say that a material actually does undergo a “plastic” deformation to the intermediate configuration and then subsequently undergoe s an “elastic” deformation to reach the
current configuration. Rather, the intermed iate configuration is a useful abstract
configuration.
Issues:
1. Conceptual de-straining
2. no unique intermediate configuration
3. if the yield surface has shifted, unloading to zero stress might necessitate plastic
flow
The decomposition 5.3.1 was introduced into finite-strain elastoplasticity by Lee and Liu
in (1967). Since then has followed theory development, explanation and criticism. See,
for example, Lee (1969), Hahn (1974), Ne mat-Nasser (1979), Lee and McMeeking
(1980), Lee (1981), Menat-Nasser (1982), Simon and Ortiz (1985),

Section 2.2
Solid Mechanics Part IV Kelly 572.2 Thermoelasticity
In this section, thermoelasticity is considered. By definiti on, the constitutive relations for
such a material depend only on the set of field variables { }θθGrad,,F . This general case
will be considered toward the end of th is section. Simpler cases, isothermal {}F, small-
strain {}ε, one-dimensional {}ε, will be considered first.
In what follows, upper case letters will be used to denote the energy potentials per unit
volume . As before, lower case denotes per unit mass so, for example, u Uρ= for
internal energy.
2.2.1 Isothermal Small Strain Elasticity
For isothermal deformations, the basic ther modynamic statement can be written as (see
Eqn. 1.6.24)
Φ+Ψ=+=
&&&ρφψρεσ:
(2.2.1)
where
ψρ&&=Ψ (rate of change of the free energy per unit volume)
0≥=Φρφ (dissipation per unit volume)
In isothermal elasticity1, Φ= 0, and so one need only specify a free energy function.
One-Dimensional Analysis
Consider a simple one-dimensional extension of material. The free energy is a function
of kinematic state variables. The only state variable is the single strain
ε and the only
stress is σ and hence
)(εεσΨ=&& (2.2.2)
i.e.
εεεεσ & &
dd )(Ψ= (2.2.3)
so that, since ε& is arbitrary,
εεσdd )(Ψ= (2.2.4)
1 this is discussed more rigorously in §2.2.2 below
Section 2.2
Solid Mechanics Part IV Kelly 58which agrees with the general relation 1.6.33d. This is the stress-strain (constitutive)
equation. In the context of elasticity th eory, the Helmholtz free energy function is the
elastic strain energy functi on (Eqn. 2.2.4 is the same as Part I, Eqn. 5.4.9).
The classical linear elastic material corre sponds to choosing a simple quadratic free
energy function:
()2
21εε E=Ψ (2.2.5)
so
εσE= , εσ&&E= (2.2.6)

One should ensure that (at least (1))
(1) 0 )0(=σ (zero strain at zero stress) which implies that 00=E
(2) () 0 /0≠=εεσdd (so one has a non-zero initial modulus)
(3) () 0 /02 2==εεσd d (so that, with (2), the origin is a point of inflection, ensuring
similar tensile and compressive strain behaviour)
Note that
Ψhas the dimensions of stress, so that the Ei also have the dimensions of stress.
In the rate formulation : εσ&&D= , D is the instantaneous elastic modulus (or stiffness )
ded/σ or 2 2/εd dΨ . D is a constant in the linear model, but is, in general, a function of
strain, as in the above example, where 2
3 2 1 3 2 εε E E ED ++= .
Three-dimensional Analysis
Generalising the above to three di mensions, the free energy function is
)(ijεΨ )(εΨ (2.2.8)
so that the basic thermomechanical identity becomes

∂Ψ∂=Ψ= )( εεεεσ & && : )( :ddΨ=Ψ= (2.2.9)
Section 2.2
Solid Mechanics Part IV Kelly 59Since this again holds for all strain rates one can deduce that
ijijεσ∂Ψ∂= εσddΨ= (2.2.10)
Again, for the linear elastic material, the free energy function is assumed to be a quadratic function of the strain:
klij ijklDεε21=Ψ εDε ::21=Ψ (2.2.11)
so that

provided the fourth or der stiffness tensor D possesses the major symmetry:
klij ijkl D D= (2.2.13)
(D satisfies the minor symmetries jikl ijkl D D= and ijlk ijkl D D= by virtue of the symmetry
of the stress and strain.)
Eqn. 2.1.12 is the stress-strain equation for an anisotropic linear elastic material. The
rate form is formally
kl ijkl ijDεσ & &= (2.2.14)
For a nonlinear material Ψis no longer quadratic, and the instantaneous modulus tensor
is a function of the strains. If one starts by proposing the ra te form of the elastic law, with a given modulus function
()εD , then in general one cannot integrate E qn. 2.2.14 to find a free energy function
(although one can achieve this in one-dim ension). Such a model is termed hypoelastic .
A model in which Ψdoes exist is called hyperelastic . Hyperelastic models
automatically satisfy the laws of th ermomechanics, hypoelastic ones do not.
Note that the strain energy must be positive, 0>Ψ . From 2.2.11, this implies that
0>klij ijklDεε 0 ::>εDε (2.2.15)
for all strain tensors, that is, the stiffness tensor must be positive definite.
Section 2.2
Solid Mechanics Part IV Kelly 60Isotropic Elasticity
The theory of isotropic elasticity with sma ll strains is a special case of that for large
strains discussed in Part III, §4.4. The theo ry discussed there applies here, only now with
the left Cauchy Green strain replaced by the small strain tensor. Thus, the free energy
function must be a function of a set of three invariants of the strain tensor ε,

Section 2.2
Solid Mechanics Part IV Kelly 61The Gibbs Function and the Complementary Energy
From section 1.3, the Helmholtz free energy and the Gibbs energy functions are related
by a Legendre transformation. Formally, cons ider again the one-dimensional stress-strain
relation 2.2.4:
εεσdd )(Ψ= (2.2.22)
To invert this expression a nd express the strain as a func tion of stress, first partially
integrate the equation with respect to strain to obtain
)( )(σεσε C+Ψ= (2.2.23)
where )(σC is an arbitrary function of inte gration, dependent only on stress.
Differentiating with respect to σ leads to
σσεddC )(= (2.2.24)
which is the inverse of the original equation. From Table 1.3.1, it is clear that the
function C is the negative of the Gibbs energy functi on (per unit volume). In this context,
C is the complementary energy discussed in Part I, §5.4. One says that the free energy is
the dual of the complementary energy, and vice versa .
For example, if

then {▲Problem 2}

Adiabatic Elasticity
For adiabatic conditions, the heat flux is zer o, so again the entropy inequality 2.2.34

Thus, for homogeneous materials, it is only the symmetric part of the thermal

accepted that K is symmetric, whether the material is homogeneous or not.
Heat Capacity and Latent Heat
The specific heat capacity is the heat requi red to raise the temperature of a body by unit
temperature (per unit mass). From the first law, 2.2.49, when there is no deformation
( 0F=& ), all the heat absorbed is transferred to internal energy. The specific heat
capacity at constant deformation is then by definition (see Eqn. 1.1.15)

Some of the heat energy results in a temperat ure change, the first term, which is the heat
capacity term. The second term represents a thermoelastic coupli ng effect whereby a
Section 2.2
Solid Mechanics Part IV Kelly 68deformation induces a temperature change; this term is often neglected as it is usually
small in applications. This second term can be interpreted as a latent heat term, whereby
heat can be absorbed without a change in temperature.

2.2.3 Small Strain Thermoelasticity
The Free Energy and Thermal Strains
In the linear theory, the free en ergy is a function of the small-strain and the temperature,
()θψ,ε, and, as with the strains, temperature changes are assumed to be small. Assume
that in the reference st ate the temperature is 0θ and the material is strain-free. Then,
