Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor

It may first be noted that the referential symmetric Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor S and the spatial Cauchy stress tensor s are related by (A.39). Again with the back stress in mind, it will be assumed in this section that the set of internal state variables is comprised of a single second-order tensor whose referential and spatial forms are related by a similar equation, i.e., by... 

Without going into details we note also that sufficient conditions of minima of a may be discussed and further simpliflcations of these results using objectivity (3.124) and material symmetry may be obtained using Cauchy-Green tensors, Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensors, the known linearized constitutive equations of solids follow, e.g. Hook and Fourier laws with tensor (transport) coefficients which are reduced to scalars in isotropic solids (e.g. Cauchy law of deformation with Lame coefficients) [6, 7, 9, 13, 14].

During the motion of the body, its volume, surface area, density, stresses, and strains change continuously. The stress measure that we shall use is the 2nd Piola-Kirchhofif stress tensor. The components of the 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor in Cj will be denoted by To see the meaning of the 2nd Piola-KirchhofiF stress tensor, consider the force dF on surface dS in C2. The Cauchy stress tensor t is defined by... 

It is also important to note that the 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor is energetically conjugate to the Green-Lagrange strain tensor and the Cauchy stress is energetically conjugate to the infinitesimal strain tensor. In other words, we have...

The second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor represents a contact force density measured in the reference configuration per unit of reference area. 

According to Eq. (31) and definitions (28)-(30), the most general form of the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor for an isotropic and hyperelastic material is ... 

In the framework of nonlinear viscoelasticity, Fosdick and Yu [165] proposed their own constitutive equation. They assumed that the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor is given by... 

A physical Lagrangian stress tensor is defined and established by applying vector transformation to the second Piola Kirchhoff stress tensor 11 components using equation (27), such that ... 

It is noted that within the Euler-Bemoulli theory context, it holds that 6 = v, 6y= — w (the cross section remains perpendicular to the deformed axis) hence, shear strain components Eqs. 3b and 3c vanish. Considering strains to be small and employing the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor, the nonvanishing stress components are defined in terms of the strain ones as... 

Another generalization uses referential (material) symmetric Piola-Kirchhoff stress and Green strain tensors in place of the stress and strain tensors used in the small deformation theory. These tensors have components relative to a fixed reference configuration, and the theory of Section 5.2 carries over intact when small deformation quantities are replaced by their referential counterparts. The referential formulation has the advantage that tensor components do not change with relative rotation between the coordinate frame and the material, and it is relatively easy to construct specific constitutive functions for specific materials, even when they are anisotropic. 

Since the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress II is not symmetric as understood by (2.110), we introduce a symmetrized tensor T, called the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress, and the Euler stress t, which is the transformed tensor of T, into the deformed body using the rotation tensor R ... 

The symmetric stress tensor S was first used by Piola and Kirchhoff. In component form... 

In Chap. 3 it was shown that the stress tensor T,j is symmetric, which allows to interchange indices. This symmetry also pertains to Iab while the first Piola-Kirchhoff tensor does not have this symmetry, a fact that is underlined by the choice of lower- and upper-case indices for spatial and material frame coordinates arrd quantities. 

Removing the rigid body component from F , it is possible to construct the strain tensor = F — A , which conjugated to the asymmetric First Piola Kirchhoff (FPK) stress tensor P = Pi toi referred to the curved reference beam, Simo (1985). P, is the FPK stress vector acting on the deformed face in the current beam corresponding to the normal ioi in the curved reference configuration. The spatial strain vector acting on the current beam cross section is obtained as e = e ioi-... 

A.l. At any time t, for all motions x of the body B there are a local current configuration (l.c.c.) K and the i.s.v. (a,E) where the scalar field a represent tlie dislocation density related to and the symmetric tensor z is the Piola-Kirchhoff type back stress related also to K, with the properties that will be specified further on under the axioms and definitions.
