Free Configuration Manifold - Elastic Deformations

Submitted by John Craighead on

Like others, I'm very sorry to learn of Jerry Marsden's passing. He kindly helped all who asked (including me) despite a very busy life and recent illness. It seems fitting to mention this before citing him below. 

According to Marsden/Hughes (Mathematical Foundations of Elasticity), stretch & shear (from homogeneous elastic deformation) are determined soley by U in the polar decomposition of the deformation gradient F=RU where R = rot'n & U = right stretch.

hi friends am doin my my project on" FEA of plasticity induced crack closure". my specimen size is 80*80 mm. by using symmetry condition i modelled 1/4th of model in ANSYS. therfore i created 40*40 mm plate. with initial crack length of 4mm.means its MT specimen of 80*80mm with 8 mm crack length, by symmetry condition i modelled 40*40 with 4mm crack lenth.
