Hyperelastic bodies under homogeneous Cauchy stress induced by three-dimensional non-homogeneous deformations

L. Angela Mihai, Patrizio Neff

In isotropic finite elasticity, unlike in the linear elastic theory, a homogeneous Cauchy stress may be induced by non-homogeneous strains. To illustrate this, we identify compatib…
