Detailed Description

template<size_t Dim>
class Elasticity::ConstitutiveRelations::ConstitutiveRelation< Dim >

Base class for constitutive (stress-strain) relations that characterize the elastic properties of a material.

Details

A constitutive relation, in the context of elasticity, relates the Stress \(T^{ij}\) and Strain \(S_{ij}=\nabla_{(i}u_{j)}\) within an elastic material (see Elasticity). For small stresses it is approximated by the linear relation

\[ T^{ij} = -Y^{ijkl}S_{kl} \]

(Eq. 11.17 in [111]) that is referred to as Hooke's law. The constitutive relation in this linear approximation is determined by the elasticity (or Young's) tensor \(Y^{ijkl}=Y^{(ij)(kl)}=Y^{klij}\) that generalizes a simple proportionality to a three-dimensional and (possibly) anisotropic material.

Note

We assume a Euclidean metric in Cartesian coordinates here (for now).
