On mixed variational formulations in finite elasticity (Q1060602)

In extension of a recent variational formulation of the problem of infinitesimal elasticity, with arbitrary variations of displacements and some stresses [(*) the author, J. Eng. Mech. 110, 1377-1390 (1984)], we use a recent consideration of variational formulations of finite elasticity, with arbitrary variations of translational and rotational displacements and of all stresses, or with arbitrary variations of these displacements and of three reactive stress measures [(**) the author, Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng. 20, 1366-1368 (1984; Zbl 0535.73017)], for the purpose of obtaining generalizations of the results in (*) which are valid for the equations of finite elasticity in terms of what we have called (**) ''distinguished generalized'' Piola stress components.
