Continuum Mechanics 2: Invariants
This article is part 2 in my series on continuum mechanics. The focus is on invariants, vectors, and tensors.

This article is part 1 of my series on continuum mechanics. The focus is on kinematics and the deformation gradient.
In this article I will discuss the theory for the Abaqus Marlow and Ansys Response Function Hyperelastic Models.
This article explains when you should use ‘strain control (tension)’, ‘strain control (compression)’, and just ‘strain control’.
In this article I will show how you can calibrate and use the Ansys TNM in MCalibration, Workbench, and Ansys Mechanical.
This article explains how much you can expect the experimental error to be reduced if you run repeated experiments.
Non-linear elastic materials are fully defined by how the Helmholtz free energy depend on 3 invariants. This article explains it!
This article examines different material models for polycarbonate (PC), and finds the most accurate model for FEA use.
I frequently get asked to explain how to create a PolyUMod TNV model with temperature-dependent thermal expansion. This article explains how.
