hypoelasticity

Another "straightforward" calculation

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Following Andy's recommendation I have been reading Ellis Dill's Continuum Mechanics[1]. In page 75 of the book, we find the
well known result that the constitutive equation for an isotropic hypoelastic
material can be derived from a stored energy function only if



 

where and are the Lame constants.
