Constitutive Laws
General Assumptions:
1. Local homogeneity of deformation
(a deformation gradient can always be calculated) 2. Principle of local action
(stress at a point depends on deformation in
a vanishingly small material element surrounding the point)
Restrictions on constitutive relations:
1. Material Frame Indifference – stress-strain relations must transform consistently under a change of observer
2. Constitutive law must always satisfy the second law of
thermodynamics for any possible deformation/temperature history.
Equations relating internal force measures to deformation measures are known as Constitutive Relations
