Problem 1

Verify this claim for $(9.2)_2$. Hint: Use (6.74) and (6.76) together with (6.68) to confirm that $\hat{\mathbf{S}} \cdot \mathbf{G G}^{-1}>0$, to leading order in the small elastic strain, whenever $\dot{\mathbf{G}} \neq 0$.

Problem 2

Show that both models are invariant under $\mathbf{G} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}^{\prime} \mathbf{G}$ and $\hat{\mathbf{S}} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}^{\prime} \hat{\mathbf{S}} \mathbf{R}$ for any fixed $\mathbf{R} \in g_{\kappa_i(p)} \subset \mathrm{Orth}^{+}$. Thus, they are meaningful for any type of material symmetry.

Problem 4

Problem 5

Use (9.34) to determine $\dot{\mathbf{M}}$ in terms of $\dot{\mathbf{G}}$. We have shown that $\mathbf{G}$ and $\mathbf{M}$ are mechanically equivalent in isotropic materials. It should therefore be possible to determine $\dot{\mathbf{G}}$ in terms of $\dot{\mathbf{M}}$. Show that this is indeed the case if we take $\mathbf{G G}^{-1}$ to be symmetric, as stipulated, for isotropic materials, in Chapter 7 . Write the flow rule (7.8) in the form $\dot{\mathbf{M}}=\ldots$.

Problem 6

The connection $\left\{\begin{array}{l}k \\ i\end{array}\right\}$ also incorporates length-scale effects because it involves the metric and its first-order coordinate derivatives. Would it be reasonable to propose a constitutive function having $\left\{{ }_{i j}^k\right\} \mathbf{m}_k \otimes \mathbf{m}^i \otimes \mathbf{m}^j$ as its only argument?

Problem 7

What is the form of the function $\mathcal{F}(\mathbf{M}, \nabla \mathbf{M}, \nabla \nabla \mathbf{M})$ which is such as remain invariant under an arbitrary thrice-differentiable map $\overline{\mathbf{x}}=\lambda(\mathrm{x})$ ?

Problem 12

Derive (9.87). Hint: Write $\tilde{\mathbf{X}}$ in the form $\xi^j \otimes \mathbf{e}_j$ and show that $\tilde{\mathbf{X}} \cdot \mathbf{R}^t \nabla \dot{\mathbf{G}}=$ $\xi^j \otimes \mathbf{e}_j \cdot \mathbf{R}^i \dot{\mathbf{G}}_{, i} \otimes \mathbf{e}^i=\boldsymbol{\xi}^i \cdot \mathbf{R}^i \dot{\mathbf{G}}_{, i}=\mathbf{R} \xi^i \cdot \dot{\mathbf{G}}_{, i}=\mathbf{R} \xi^j \otimes \mathbf{e}_j \cdot \dot{\mathbf{G}}_{j i} \otimes \mathbf{e}^i=\mathbf{R} \dot{\mathbf{X}} \cdot \nabla \dot{\mathbf{G}}$.

Problem 13

Show that $\mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{N R}$ under symmetry transformations and hence that $\mathbf{N}$. Curl $\dot{\mathbf{G}}$ is invariant. Show that $\eta^{i j} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}^t \eta^{i j}$ and hence that $\mathbf{M} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}^l \mathbf{M}$.
