Abstract

Applying the finite deformation theory to a solid, which possesses either cubic or isotropic symmetry at stress-free natural state and is subsequently loaded homogeneously in uniaxial direction, one obtains a stress (or strain) dependence of the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and a volume (or density) change, together with a nonlinear elastic relation between stress and strain. These are all expressed in terms of the second and third order elastic constants of the solid material. These expressions are illustrated with examples of cubic silicon crystal, isotropic carbon steel, Pyrex glass, and polystyrene at the relaxed state.
