A new two-point deformation tensor and its relation to the classical kinematical framework and the stress concept

QC 20100525
Starting from the issue of what is the correct form for a Legendre transformation of the strain energy in terms of Eulerian and two-point tensor variables we introduce a new two-point deformation tensor, namely H = (F-F-T)/2, as a possible deformation measure involving points in two distinct configurations. The Lie derivative of H is work conjugate to the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor P. The deformation measure H leads to straightforward manipulations within a two-point setting such as the derivation of the virtual work equation and its linearization required for finite element implementation. The manipulations are analogous to those used for the Lagrangian and Eulerian frameworks. It is also shown that the Legendre transformation in terms of two-point tensors and spatial tensors require Lie derivatives. As an illustrative example we propose a simple Saint Venant-Kirchhoff type of a strain-energy function in terms of H. The constitutive model leads to physically meaningful results also for the large compressive strain domain, which is not the case for the classical Saint Venant-Kirchhoff material.
