of the derivatives of the invariants. The latter yields (Equations (1.507) to (1.509))

4.4.2 Derivatives of the principal stretches

The derivatives of the reduced principal stretches can be obtained in a similar way (for an

alternative formulation see (Simo and Taylor 1991)). Starting from

λi = I

To obtain the derivative of the principal stretches with respect to C, we start from the

characteristic equation

λ6 I1λ4 + I2λ2 I3 = 0. (4.168)

Taking the first derivative with respect to C, one obtains

Equations (4.170) and (4.171) only apply on condition that the denominator is not zero.

The denominator is the derivative of the characteristic equation, which can also be written

as

L = 0 (λ2 λ21

)(λ2 λ22

)(λ2 λ23

) = 0 (4.172)

and a zero denominator for λi signifies

L

λ

____

λ=λi

= 0 (4.173)

202 HYPERELASTIC MATERIALS

which means that λ2

i is at least a double root if we exclude λi = 0. To obtain the derivatives

for double and triple roots, a different approach has to be taken (Itskov 2001). The

eigenvalues of C and its invariants are related by

_1 + _2 + _3 = I1 (4.174)

_1_2 + _1_3 + _2_3 = I2 (4.175)

_1_2_3 = I3. (4.176)

Taking the derivative with respect to C, one obtains

. (4.177)

Three cases can be distinguished

1. If _1 _= _2 _= _3 _= _1, then the solution of Equation (4.177) yields

_i,C = _2

i I1,C _iI2,C + I3,C

3_2

i

2I1_i + I2

(4.178)

which agrees with Equation (4.170) since λi,C = 2λiλi,C. Expanding the derivatives

of the invariants (Equations (1.507)–(1.509)),

I1

C

= G_ (4.179)

I2

C

= I1G_ G_ · C · G_ (4.180)

I3

C

= I3C

1 (4.181)

and taking Equations (4.174) and (4.175) into account, Equation (4.178) can also be

written as

_i

C

= _i(_i I1)G_ + _iG_ · C · G_ + I3C

1

(_i _j )(_i _k)

. (4.182)

Since

G_ = G_ · C · C

1 (4.183)

G_ · C · G_ = G_ · C2 · C

1 (4.184)

and

C

1 = G_ · G · C

1 (4.185)

HYPERELASTIC MATERIALS 203

one finds by comparison with Equation (1.126),

_i

= _iG_ ·Mi · C

1. (4.186)

Writing C

1 in terms of the structural tensors

C

Equation (4.186) can be further simplified to

_i,C = _iG_ · (Ni Ni ) ·_

= _iG__

j

_

j (Ni Nj )Ni · Nj

i (Ni Ni )

It is a remarkably simple expression: for three distinct eigenvalues, the derivatives

of the eigenvalues are the corresponding contravariant structural tensors. Using

Equation (4.188), one also obtains a very elegant expression for the principal stresses

in an Ogden material. Indeed,

S = 2

_

_i

_i,C = 2

_

_i

Mi . (4.189)

Accordingly (Equation (1.132)),

_jS = S : Mj = 2

2. If two eigenvalues are equal, for example, _ = _1 = _2 _= _3 Equation (4.177)

reduces to

The solution satisfies

_ _3

(4.194)

_3,C = I2,C (_ + _3)I1,C

_ _3

. (4.195)

It is not difficult to prove that

_1,C + _2,C = G_ M3 = M1 +M2 (4.196)

_3,C = M3 (4.197)

where M1 +M2 and M3 satisfy Equation (1.129) and Equation (1.130).

3. For three equal eigenvalues _ = _1 = _2 = _3, Equation (4.193) reduces to one

single equation:

_1,C + _2,C + _3,C = I1,C = G_. (4.198)

Now let us take a look at the second derivatives of λi . Instead of using Equation (4.171),

one can also express it through the second derivative of _i = λ2

_i,CC = Mi,C. (4.201)

An expression forMi,C is found by differentiating Equation (1.125) leading to (notice

that Mi,C = G_ ·Mi

Notice that for double or triple roots, the derivatives of _i (Equation (4.196) and

Equation (4.198)) and Mi (Equation (4.214) and Equation (4.216)) are not known separately:

only the sum is known. This is not surprising, since double roots cannot be

distinguished, and consequently it is not clear whether tangent 1 or tangent 2 applies

(Figure 4.7).

4.4.3 Expressions for the stress and stiffness for three equal

eigenvalues

In the previous section, it was found that for three equal eigenvalues the derivatives of λi

are not known separately, only their sum can be calculated. In the present section, it will

be shown that this suffices to determine the stress and the stiffness. For λ1 = λ2 = λ3 = λ,

Equation (4.132) and Equation (4.133) reduce to

In this way, the sums of the derivatives of the reduced stretches are written in terms of

the derivatives of the unreduced stretches. Now, Equations (4.198), (4.199), (4.200) and
