Sommario
Si esamina la compatibilità tra il principio di obiettività ed equazioni costitutive affini per i tensori di stress elastici di Cauchy a Piola-Kirchhoff con stress residuo non nullo. Generalizzando risultati di Fosdick e Serrin si prova che il tensore di Cauchy può essere soltanto un tensore costante, proporzionale al tensore identità, mentre il tensore di Piola-Kirchhoff può essere una funzione lineare del gradiente di deformazione. Alle stesse conclusioni si perviene anche partendo dal funzionale della viscoelasticità. Infine si mostra che, per materiali tipo Maxwell, le soluzioni di equazioni di evoluzione obiettive sono funzionali obiettivi.
Summary
The compatibility between the objectivity principle and affine constitutive equations for the elastic Cauchy and Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensors with non-zero residual stress is examined. It is found that the Cauchy stress is allowed to be only a constant tensor, proportional to the identity tensor, while the Piola-Kirchhoff stress may be a linear function on the deformation gradient thus generalizing previous results by Fosdick and Serrin. The same conclusions are arrived at also by starting from viscoelasticity. Finally, in the case of Maxwell-like materials, the solutions to the objective evolution equations are shown to be objective functionals.
