Constraint reaction in hyperelastic stress

ID: constraint-reaction-in-hyperelastic-stress

For a regular material constraint , admissible rates of the deformation gradient lie in the kernel of . The difference between the nominal stress and the derivative of the strain energy density annihilates that tangent space by virtual work, so it is a Lagrange multiplier times . For incompressibility, the derivative of the determinant is its cofactor matrix, and the material-first reaction is when .
