The first constitutive equation (constitutive law) was developed by Robert Hooke and is known as Hooke's law.It deals with the case of linear elastic materials.Following this discovery, this type of equation, often called a "stress-strain relation" in this example, but also called a "constitutive assumption" or an "equation of state" was commonly used.
The hyperelastic material is a special case of a Cauchy elastic material. For many materials, linear elastic models do not accurately describe the observed material behaviour. The most common example of this kind of material is rubber, whose stress-strain relationship can be defined as non-linearly elastic, isotropic and incompressible.
The peridynamic kernel is a versatile function that characterizes the constitutive behavior of materials within the framework of peridynamic theory. One commonly employed formulation of the kernel is used to describe a class of materials known as prototype micro-elastic brittle (PMB) materials.
Crystals typically have D fields which are not aligned with the E fields, while the B and H fields remain related by a constant. Materials where either pair of fields is not parallel are called anisotropic. In bi-isotropic media, the electric and magnetic fields are coupled. The constitutive relations are = +
See the main article on constitutive relations for a fuller description. [15]: 44–45 For materials without polarization and magnetization, the constitutive relations are (by definition) [9]: 2 =, =, where ε 0 is the permittivity of free space and μ 0 the permeability of free space. Since there is no bound charge, the total and the free ...
A biaxial tensile state can be derived starting from the most general constitutive law for isotropic materials in large strains regime: = (+ +) where S is the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor, I the identity matrix, C the right Cauchy-Green tensor, and =, = and = the derivatives of the strain energy function per unit of volume in the ...
In homogeneous and isotropic materials, these define Hooke's law in 3D, = + (), where σ is the stress tensor, ε the strain tensor, I the identity matrix and tr the trace function. Hooke's law may be written in terms of tensor components using index notation as σ i j = 2 μ ε i j + λ δ i j ε k k , {\displaystyle \sigma _{ij}=2\mu ...
A transversely isotropic material is one with physical properties that are symmetric about an axis that is normal to a plane of isotropy. This transverse plane has infinite planes of symmetry and thus, within this plane, the material properties are the same in all directions. Hence, such materials are also known as "polar anisotropic" materials.
