Abstract: We consider a family of isotropic volumetric-isochoric decoupled strain energies ${\displaystyle }$ Fmapsto W_{ m eH}(F):=widehat{W}_{ m eH}(U):=left{�egin{array}{lll} frac{mu}{k},e^{k,|{ m dev}_nlog {U}|^2}+frac{kappa}{2hat{k}},e^{hat{k},[{ m tr}(log U)]^2}& ext{if}& { m det}, F>0,\ +infty & ext{if} &{ m det} Fleq 0, end{array} ight.quad ${\displaystyle }$ based on the Hencky-logarithmic (true, natural) strain tensor $logU$, where $mu>0$ is the infinitesimal shear modulus, $kappa=frac2mu+3lambda3>0$ is the infinitesimal bulk modulus with $lambda$ the first Lam'{e} constant, $k,hatk$ are dimensionless parameters, $F=ablavarphi$ is the gradient of deformation, $U=sqrt{F}^{T}F$ is the right stretch tensor and ${mdev}_{n}logU=logU-frac1nmtr(logU)cdot1!!1$ is the deviatoric part (the projection onto the traceless tensors) of the strain tensor $logU$. For small elastic strains the energies reduce to first order to the classical quadratic Hencky energy ${\displaystyle }$ Fmapsto W{_{ m H}}(F):=widehat{W}_{_{ m H}}(U):={mu},|{ m dev}_nlog U|^2+frac{kappa}{2},[{ m tr}(log U)]^2, ${\displaystyle }$ which is known to be not rank-one convex. The main result in this paper is that in plane elastostatics the energies of the family $W_{{}_{meH}}$ are polyconvex for $kgeqfrac13$, $widehatkgeqfrac18$, extending a previous finding on its rank-one convexity. Our method uses a judicious application of Steigmann's polyconvexity criteria based on the representation of the energy in terms of the principal invariants of the stretch tensor $U$. These energies also satisfy suitable growth and coercivity conditions. We formulate the equilibrium equations and we prove the existence of minimizers by the direct methods of the calculus of variations.
