4.11  Equations of Motion in Terms of

Undeformed Configuration

Previous:  4.10(f) Second P-K (Cont'd)

We defined the Cauchy’s stress in terms of current forces and current geometry.  , the first Piola-Kirchoff stress was defined using the current force and original configuration.  is similar to the engineering stress but is unsymmetric due to the rotated forces in the current configuration. We know that in terms of cauchy’s stress,

where   is the body force /mass and   is current density and  is the acceleration.

The above equation can also be written as

We can easily show that (1) can also be written as

all in terms of original geometry and first P-K stress. Thus in terms of material coordinates,
