Abstract
In this paper we consider Pipkin-type bi-dimensional continua with two orthogonal families of inextensible fibers. We generalize the representation formula due to Rivlin (J. Ration. Mech. Anal. 4(6):951–974, 1955) valid for planar placement fields. They are the sum of two vector functions each of which depends on one real variable only, are piece-wise \(\mathscr{C}^{2}\) and may exhibit jumps of their first gradients on some inextensible fibers. Subsequently we consider a deformation energy depending only on the shear deformation relative to the inextensible families of fibers. In the suitably introduced space of configurations representing considered constrained kinematics, we formulate the relative energy minimization problem for the standard bias extension test problem, i.e., elongation of specimens which (i) have the shape of a rectangle with one side exactly three times longer than the other; (ii) are subject to a relative displacement of shorter sides in the direction parallel to the longer one. By exploiting the material and geometric symmetries, we reduce the aforementioned minimization problem to the determination of a piece-wise real function defined in a real interval. A delicate calculation of the energy first variation produces a necessary stationarity condition: it consists of an integral equation which is to be satisfied by the unknown function. The crucial points of this deduction are represented by (i) the reduction of two-dimensional integrals to one-dimensional integrals by the Fubini Theorem and (ii) the determination of the set of admissible kinematical functions on the basis of imposed boundary conditions, which implies a further integral constraint condition on the unknown function. Therefore the energy minimization problem requires the introduction of a global Lagrange multiplier. The established integral equations are solved numerically with a scheme based on a contraction type iterative process. Finally, the equilibrium shapes of the specimen undergoing large deformations, as determined by the presented model, are shown and briefly discussed.
Notes
One could also apply the previous proposition to the function \(\mathbf{r}^{ (3,3 )} (\xi_{1},\xi _{2} )-\mathbf{u}_{0}\).
Note that this development is not possible in the neighborhood of the reference configuration.

Appendix
In this appendix we supply some more details about the derivation of the Euler-Lagrange conditions used in the paper.
1.1 6.1 Deformation Energy Functional
The functional whose first variation has to be calculated is:
Remark
The reader should note that this functional maps a real function \(\mu\) defined in the interval \([1,3 ]\) into a real number. However the function \(\mu\) is calculated in some occurrences in the variable \(\xi_{1}\) and in some other occurrences in the variable \(\xi_{2}\) when forming the integrand function appearing inside the square brackets of the previous equation. This integrand is indeed a function of the two variables \((\xi_{1},\xi_{2} )\) and its domain of integration is the two-dimensional domain \(B\).
Considering the partition (17) of the domain B and defining \(\underline{\Delta}=\Delta_{11}\cup\Delta_{21}\cup\Delta_{22}\cup\Delta_{21}\), it is possible to rewrite the functional as follows:
which, by using the assumed symmetry of the solution, becomes
1.2 6.2 Calculation of the First Variation of the Deformation Energy Functional
The first variation of the deformation energy functional can be expressed as:
We have
Due to the symmetry condition, we have that
and
So, replacing (62) and (63) in (61), we obtain:
Now, applying the Fubini Theorem we find:
Renaming the variables by means of the equalities \(\xi_{2}=\eta\) and \(\xi_{1}=\xi\), we are lead to define two functions \(F_{i}\) in the following way:
Therefore the first variation of the deformation energy can be represented as follows:
1.3 6.3 Integration by Parts and the Final Expression for the Euler-Lagrange Stationary Condition
Applying an integration by parts, we find that it is possible to rewrite the variation of the deformation energy functional as follows:
Because of the arbitrariness of the variation \(\delta\mu\), we get that:
Therefore, the stationarity condition is given by the system of equations:
with \(I_{1}= [1,2 ]\), \(I_{2}= [2,3 ]\).
