A large deformation analysis for nonlinear elastic problems by hypoelastic theory

In this paper, large deformation problems for nonlinear elasticity are studied on the basis of hypoelastic theory. The expression of Cauchy elasticity is derived in the form of hypoclasticity. This makes it possible to solve large deformation for nonlinear elastic problems by the hypoelastic method. The variational principle of hypoclasticity and the Ritz method are used to obtain the numerical solution of a rectangular rubber membrane under uniaxial stretch.
