Abstract:
The polynomial elastic potentials represented by the power functions of their
arguments are considered for hyperelastic anisotropic materials. The conditions for the
elastic free energy $W(\varepsilon)$ and Gibbs potential $V(\mathbf{T})$ in isothermal processes are assigned so
that the nonlinear constitutive relations can be inverted. For polynomial elastic potentials,
whose coefficients are dependent on elastic constants of the second and third orders,
a dependence between the coefficients of the potential $W(\varepsilon)$ (elasticity constants) and the
coefficients of the potential $V(\mathbf{T})$ (elastic compliances) is obtained.
The relationships between the elastic constants and the coefficients of elastic compliance
of the second and third orders for an isotropic material and for an anisotropic material
corresponding to a cubic crystallographic system are found. For a copper crystal belonging
to the cubic system, uniaxial loading along one of the anisotropy axes is considered. The
stress-strain dependence obtained from direct and inverted relations coincides in the
vicinity of zero.
The stress-strain dependence calculated using direct and inverted relations for copper
crystals has made it possible to determine the strain range in which the results of calculations using direct and inverted relations differ by less than 5%.
