Help with stress tensor

Submitted by amberprince on

 Hi all

Given the radial displacement in the form of a linear elasticity equation's solution, how do I calculate the stress tensor considering the solid is hookian?

Hmm .. this looks like simple substitution.

 \Sigma = F(strain) 

 You know strain (because it's a given quantity), you know F (because  you know the material to be  Neo-Hookean).

 Is this a homework question?

Thanks for the reply....Nope...I was doing a problem and got stuck in the middle...How do I find F?....I found strain using the symmetric matrix relation but F?...

This is the relation but isnt this too simplistic? Wikipedia gives me a formula which involves sigma on the RHS for finding sigma. Something similar to the foll equation:
