Riemannian and Euclidean Material Structures in Anelasticty

Submitted by arash_yavari on Sat, 10/05/2019 - 19:18

research

anelasticity; defects; configurational forces; Material uniformity; residual stresses

In this paper we discuss the mechanics of anelastic bodies with respect to a Riemannian and a Euclidean geometric structure on the material manifold. These two structures provide two equivalent sets of governing equations that correspond to the geometrical and classical approaches to nonlinear anelasticity. This paper provides a parallelism between the two approaches and explains how to go from one to the other. We work in the setting of the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient seen as a non-holonomic change of frame in the material manifold.
