4.10 First P-K Stress

Previous:  4.9 Boundary Conditions

We have so far used . It is defined as Caucy stress tensor given by, 

=Cauchy stress tensor (Force/area in the deformed geometry)

We know for equilibrium equation

Define two other stress tensors, first and second Piola-Kirchoff Stress tensors

Three different stress measures

 We will denote   as first P-K and  as II P-K stress
