Consider the following strain-energy function per unit volume, which represents a transversely isotropic incompressible material: ?(I1?,I4?)=?1?(I1??3)+2?2??(e?3?(I4??1)2?1) where I1? is the first invariant of C,I4? is the pseudo-invariant associated with C and the fiber direction a0?, and ?1?,?2?,?3? are material constants. a) Using a fiber direction of a0?=E1?, define the 2nd Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor for this material. (don't forget to enforce incompressibility) To continue we wish to analyze a thin sheet of this material (see the figure below). We will assume that the sheet of material is thin enough to assume a plane stress condition. Note that plane stress implies: - the stress components S13?=S31?=S23?=S32?=S33?=0 - the components of the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor C13?=C31?=C23?=C32?=0 Using the information above please solve the following: b) Show that for the case of plane stress and incompressibility C33? can be expressed in terms of the remaining components of C. c) Additionally, show that for the case of plane stress and incompressibility the Lagrange multiplier p can be defined explicitly in terms of material constants and the components of C. d) Say that the sheet of material undergoes a planar equi-biaxial extension test, which is represented by the motion x1?=?X1?,x2?=?X2?,x3?=?3?X3? where ? is prescribed and ?3? is determined from incompressibility. Develop expressions for the non-zero components of S only in terms of ? and the material constants.
