8 AA242B: MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS 8 / 57 Hamilton s Principle Stress-Strain Relationships σ ij is energetically conjugate to the Green strain ε ij. It is called the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor. It does not represent the true (Cauchy) stresses inside a structure with respect to the initial reference frame. Rather, it describes the stress field in a reference frame attached to the body and therefore subjected to its deformation but is related to the elementary area of the undeformed structure. In other words, the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor relates forces in the reference (undeformed) configuration to areas in the reference (undeformed) configuration. 8 / 57
