Small Strain Accompanied by Moderate Rotation
Abstract
This paper is mainly concerned with the construction of a theory of material behavior with infinitesimal strain accompanied by moderate rotation. After introducing a definition for moderate rotation and establishing a number of theorems pertaining to its properties, precise estimates are obtained for the (local) moderate rotation and related kinematical results in terms of infinitesimal strain. For motions which result in small strain accompanied by moderate rotation, the invariance of constitutive equations under arbitrary superposed rigid body motions is discussed with particular reference to an elastic material.
