An attempt to separate elastic strain energy density of linear elastic anisotropic materials based on strains considerations

Article

Abstract

A promising new effort toward the decomposition of the elastic strain energy density of linear elastic anisotropic materials into a dilatational and a distortional part is presented. By assuming that volume changes must keep the material symmetries unchanged, a new physical perspective is presented and interesting definitions are drawn. This new perspective necessitates the introduction of a strain parameter m characteristic of the material’s anisotropy. This strain parameter besides easing the calculation of the dilatational and distortional energetic terms additionally accounts for the directional sensitivity of anisotropic materials.
