A deformation map sends each particle's reference configuration position to its current configuration position. Its spatial derivative with respect to the Lagrangian coordinates is the deformation gradient.

A hyperelastic material is homogeneous when its strain energy density $W(F)$ has no explicit dependence on the reference configuration position. Its first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor is $T=DW(F)$. Homogeneity of the material does not require the deformation gradient to be spatially constant.

The deformation gradient is the derivative of the deformation map with respect to the reference configuration coordinates, at fixed time:Its determinant $J=\det F$ is the local ratio of current to reference volume: $dv=JdV$ for an orientation-preserving deformation in continuum mechanics. Thus elastic incompressibility is the pointwise constraint $\boxed{J=1}$, rather than a requirement that each individual principal stretch be one.

Use orthonormal cylindrical bases in the reference configuration and current configuration. The deformation gradient maps a radial increment $dR$ to $r^{\prime }dR$, an azimuthal arc $Rd\Theta$ to $rd\Theta$, and an axial increment $dZ$ to itself. ThereforeDifferentiating the radius relation gives $r^{\prime }=R/r$. Its three principal stretches areTheir product is one, as required by elastic incompressibility. The symbols called “strains” in the source are these stretch ratios; engineering strain would instead subtract one. The axial stretch is one because this is plane strain.

The material frame of a rod obeys the director kinematics of a rodIn the stress-free reference configuration, the constitutive equation gives $u_1=0$, $u_2=\hat{u}$, and $u_3=0$, since all three stiffnesses are positive. Thus $\mathbf{u}=\hat{u}{\mathbf{d}}_2$. Its cross product with ${\mathbf{d}}_2$ vanishes, soConsequently this director is a fixed vector in space, even though the other two directors rotate along the elastic rod.

Let $v_i={\dot{x}}_i$ and use a fixed arbitrary material subvolume $B_0$ in the reference configuration, with outward unit normal $N_I$. The reference mass density ${\rho }_0$ is time independent. The global momentum conservation law isThe divergence theorem, differentiation under the integral, and arbitrariness of $B_0$ give

The global conservation of energy law includes both internal energy and kinetic energy:Here $q^0$ is outgoing heat flux per reference area. Localizing givesSubtract the scalar product of the local momentum conservation law with $v$. Since $v_{i,I}={\dot{F}}_{iI}$, this proves the Lagrangian internal energy balance

For positive temperature $\theta$, the global entropy inequality isIts local excess is a nonnegative production density $\gamma$. Expanding the divergence of $q^0/\theta$ proves the Lagrangian entropy inequality in the requested equality form:No constitutive assumption on the heat flux was needed for these balance identities.

For the reference-configuration jump balances, make the orientation convention explicit. Write $[a]=a^{+}-a^{-}$ and let $n^0$ point from the minus side to the plus side. Let $c$ be the actual interface speed in direction $n^0$. A signed level function $\varphi$ with the plus side $\varphi >0$ obeys ${\varphi }_t=-c|{\nabla }_X\varphi |$ on the interface. For $a=a^{-}+[a]H(\varphi )$, the singular time derivative is $-c[a]{\delta }_S$; the singular reference divergence of $b$ is $n_I^0[b_I]{\delta }_S$. Thus a local conservation law $a_t=\mathrm{Div}b+$ bounded sources has the Rankine-Hugoniot conditionThis is also the shrinking moving-pillbox calculation of the global law: finite volume supplies have no surviving surface term.

To match the displayed positive-sign momentum jump in the paper, use its speed parameter as $V=-c$, so the interface travels in direction $-V{n}^0$. Assuming continuous ${\rho }_0$ and no surface force or energy supply, the jump laws are thenand, from ${\partial }_t({\rho }_0\eta )+\mathrm{Div}(q^0/\theta )\ge {\rho }_{0}r/\theta$,The last inequality is nonnegative entropy production concentrated on the interface. Temperature and flux in the entropy term are the traces on their respective sides; one cannot take a common temperature outside the jump unless it is continuous.

If $V$ is instead defined as the interface speed in direction $n^0$, all three $V$ terms above acquire a minus sign. In particular the printed positive-sign momentum formula requires the opposite speed convention; changing just the order of the jump does not remove this convention issue. If reference density is discontinuous, replace ${\rho }_0[a]$ by the jump $[{\rho }_{0}a]$ of the complete conserved density.

An equivalent internal-energy jump follows by subtracting the kinetic-energy jump using $[|v{|}^2/2]=\{v_i\}[v_i]$, where $\{a\}=(a^{+}+a^{-})/2$:The averaged traction appears because $[P_{Ii}{v}_i]=\{P_{Ii}\}[v_i]+[P_{Ii}]\{v_i\}$; using a one-sided traction would generally be incorrect.

Take any fixed material subvolume $B_0$ of the reference configuration, with outward normal vector $N$, current particle velocity $v_i={\dot{x}}_i$, and positive temperature $\theta$. The first law of thermodynamics, including kinetic energy, isThe heat-flux sign is negative because $N_I{q}_I^0$ is outward. The Second law of thermodynamics supplies the corresponding integral Lagrangian entropy inequality:The temperature in each supply or flux term is the local temperature, not a common temperature pulled outside the integrals.

Apply the divergence theorem and use the reference momentum conservation equation ${\rho }_0{\dot{v}}_i=P_{Ii,I}+{\rho }_0{g}_i$. In the total-energy equation, the kinetic derivative cancels the body-force work and the $v_i{P}_{Ii,I}$ term. Since $v_{i,I}={\dot{F}}_{iI}$, the remaining local Lagrangian internal energy balance and Lagrangian entropy inequality areThey hold pointwise because $B_0$ was arbitrary. In particular,

The specific Helmholtz free energy is $\psi =u-\theta \eta$. Substitution yields its balanceand elimination of the heat supply yields the Clausius-Duhem inequalityFor $\psi =\psi (F,\theta ,{\xi }_r)$, expand the derivative to obtainThe usual Coleman-Noll procedure admits independent reversible choices of $\dot{F}$ and $\dot{\theta }$ at a fixed state. Their coefficients must vanish, since either sign and arbitrary magnitude would otherwise violate the inequality. ThusInternal-variable evolution and heat conduction must satisfy this remaining inequality. Substituting the constitutive relations back into the energy balance givesThe last printed equation is missing a factor ${\rho }_0$ on its internal-variable term. The PDF defines $f_r=-{\psi }_{,{\xi }_r}$ with $\psi$ per unit mass, so the expression above is the dimensionally consistent consequence. Equivalently define the volumetric thermodynamic force conjugate to an internal variable ${\hat{f}}_r=-{\rho }_0{\psi }_{,{\xi }_r}$; the term is then ${\hat{f}}_r{\dot{\xi }}_r$ with no extra density. The two conventions must not be mixed.

For thermoelasticity with a temperature-dependent constraint, admissible rates obeyThe reversible coefficient functional need now vanish only on this tangent hyperplane. Hence it can be a scalar multiple $q$ of the constraint normal:ThereforeThe reaction terms cancel on admissible rates, leaving the same internal-variable/conduction inequality and entropy heating equation. The multiplier $q$ is determined by equilibrium and boundary conditions rather than by the free energy alone.

For linear thermoelasticity with prescribed thermal volume, write $F=I+H$, $H_{ij}=u_{i,j}$, and $\vartheta =\theta -{\theta }_0$. Hold the internal variables fixed in this reversible linearization, and evaluate all derivatives below at $(I,{\theta }_0)$ and zero reaction. The stress-free reference state has ${\psi }_{,F}=0$. Since $\partial \det F/\partial F=I$ there, first-order nominal and Cauchy stress tensors agree. Their constitutive laws becomewhere equality of mixed free-energy derivatives givesThe linearized constraint is $u_{i,i}=h^{\prime }({\theta }_0)\vartheta$. Thus volume is thermally prescribed; strict temperature-independent incompressibility corresponds to $h^{\prime }=0$. The coefficient $C_e$ is an entropy slope; the corresponding volumetric heat capacity at fixed deformation is ${\theta }_0{C}_e$.

Together with ${\rho }_0{\ddot{u}}_i={\sigma }_{ji,j}+{\rho }_0{g}_i$, the first-order thermal balance is ${\theta }_0(C_e\dot{\vartheta }-{\beta }_{ji}{\dot{u}}_{i,j}+h^{\prime }({\theta }_0)\dot{q})={\rho }_{0}r-q_{I,I}^0$. A heat-flux constitutive law completes the evolution problem. The paired signs of the coupling tensor follow from the same free energy, rather than from separately postulated mechanical and thermal equations.

Using $J=1$ and the preceding first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor,Its eigenvalues are $\mu (1+\sqrt{5})/2$, $\mu (1-\sqrt{5})/2$, and zero. Because it is symmetric, its largest traction magnitude on a unit spatial normal is the largest absolute eigenvalue. Put $\phi =(1+\sqrt{5})/2$. The positive eigenvalue has the strictly largest modulus, with normalThe question asks for the plane in the reference configuration, so this spatial normal must be pulled back. Nanson's formula gives $N$ parallel to $F^{T}n$, andTherefore the required plane and maximum areEither sign of its unit normal describes the same plane. Maximizing over reference normals is equivalent to maximizing over spatial normals because the map $N\mapsto F^{-T}N/|F^{-T}N|$ is a bijection of unit normals.

A homogeneous hyperelastic material has a strain energy density per unit reference volume $W(F)$ depending on the deformation gradient, with no explicit dependence on the reference configuration. For orientation-preserving gradients $F\in G{L}^{+}(3)$, its first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor is the derivative:Equivalently the infinitesimal stored-energy change is $DW(F)[H]=T:H$. Reference and spatial indices are distinguished here by upper- and lowercase index letters.

The material symmetry group may be written $G_W=\{H\in G{L}^{+}(3):W(FH)=W(F)\text{ for every }F\in G{L}^{+}(3)\}$. A volume-preserving relabelling convention restricts the candidate $H$ to $SL(3)$; the material isotropy criterion is the same. The material has material isotropy when $SO(3)\subseteq G_W$, meaning $W(FQ)=W(F)$ for every proper rotation $Q$. If only rotational symmetries are included in the definition of the group, material isotropy means that group equals $SO(3)$. This right-rotation invariance is distinct from material frame indifference, the left-rotation invariance $W(QF)=W(F)$.

The polar decomposition in continuum mechanics gives the unique factorizationswhere $U,V$ are positive-definite symmetric matrices. Their common positive eigenvalues ${\lambda }_1,{\lambda }_2,{\lambda }_3$ are the principal stretches, equivalently the singular values of $F$. They describe the local stretch magnitudes after separating out a rigid rotation.

Write the first strain invariant in components of the deformation gradient:Here lower-case and upper-case indices refer to the current configuration and reference configuration, respectively. Differentiating gives $\partial I_1/\partial F_{iI}=2F_{iI}$. The chain rule therefore givesSubstitution into the given hyperelastic material law, with its indicated matrix transpose, yieldsThe left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor is $\mathbf{B}=\mathbf{F}{\mathbf{F}}^T$. The scalar $p$ is the Lagrange multiplier enforcing incompressibility, rather than a function fixed by the strain energy density alone. The identity matrix $1$ makes this an isotropic constraint reaction in hyperelastic stress.

These stress measures refer force or area to the reference configuration. Different index-order conventions distinguish a first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor from its transposed nominal stress tensor. The second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor has two material indices.

The right Cauchy-Green tensor measures stretch on the reference configuration. Its eigenvalues are the same squared principal stretches as those of the left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor, but its eigenvectors are reference directions.
