We consider an estimate of the lower bound for the critical load in a monotonic dead loading process for an isotropic compressible elastic solid. Within a constitutive class that includes many commonly used strain energy functions, we seek a lower bound on the Hadamard stability functional and develop an estimate of the lower bound for the critical load. As an example, we apply our estimate to the case of a simple shear loading process for a generalized Blatz – Ko material. Our result, albeit for a special (but reasonably broad) constitutive class, shows a significant improvement of the estimate of the lower bound as compared to other proposals contained in the literature.

Abstract

We consider an estimate of the lower bound for the critical load in a monotonic dead loading process for an isotropic compressible elastic solid. Within a constitutive class that includes many commonly used strain energy functions, we seek a lower bound on the Hadamard stability functional and develop an estimate of the lower bound for the critical load. As an example, we apply our estimate to the case of a simple shear loading process for a generalized Blatz – Ko material. Our result, albeit for a special (but reasonably broad) constitutive class, shows a significant improvement of the estimate of the lower bound as compared to other proposals contained in the literature.
