... e is then the complementary mapping from Ω ̃ k to the deformed configuration. From Eq. 1 , we can define the Cauchy–Green deformation tensor as C = F T F , and the analogous viscous and elastic deformation tensors as C k e = F k e T F k e...

.... For the example case of linear elastic deformation, this results in material stiffnesses that relate the infinitesimal strain and stress. The result that the affine case is stiffer than the nonaffine case is recovered, as would be expected. The energy framework also lends itself to the natural inclusion...

... in elastic deformation. The purposes of this in vitro study were (1) to develop the methods to quantify eight causes (four elastic and four plastic) associated with the tibial and femoral fixations using Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) and to demonstrate the usefulness of these methods, (2...
