A rate constitutive equation for moderate strain isotropic elasticity (Q1060039)

It is proved that if the components of the stretching tensor are slightly smaller than those for which the constitutive equation \(\underset \tilde{} S=2\mu \underset \tilde{} E+\lambda (tr\underset \tilde{} E)\quad l\) holds, then the rate constitutive equation \(\underset \tilde{} S^{\nabla}=2\mu \underset \tilde{} D+\lambda (tr\underset \tilde{} D)\quad l\) is a good approximation to the constitutive equation \(\dot S=2\mu \dot E\underset \tilde{} {\;}+\lambda (tr\dot E\underset \tilde{} {\;})\quad l\). Here \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are Lamé constants, \(\underset \tilde{} S\) is the Kirchhoff stress tensor, \(\underset \tilde{} S^{\nabla}\) is the Jaumann derivative of S, and \(\underset \tilde{} E=\ln \underset \tilde{} V\), where \(\underset \tilde{} V\) is the left stretch tensor, is the Hencky logarithmic tensor.
