Consider the following strain-energy function per unit volume, which represents a transversely isotropic incompressible material: where is the first invariant of is the pseudo-invariant associated with and the fiber direction , and are material constants. a) Using a fiber direction of , define the 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 - the components of the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor Using the information above please solve the following: b) Show that for the case of plane stress and incompressibility can be expressed in terms of the remaining components of . 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 where is prescribed and is determined from incompressibility. Develop expressions for the non-zero components of only in terms of and the material constants.
