cauchy_from_kirchhoff(def_gradient, kirchhoff_stress)

Cauchy stress tensor from Kirchhoff stress tensor.

\[\boldsymbol{\sigma} = \frac{1}{\det (\boldsymbol{F})} \, \boldsymbol{\tau}\]

where \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}\) is the Cauchy stress tensor, \(\boldsymbol{F}\) is the deformation gradient, and \(\boldsymbol{\tau}\) is the Kirchhoff stress tensor.

Parameters:

• def_gradient (numpy.ndarray (2d)) – Deformation gradient.

• kirchhoff_stress (numpy.ndarray (2d)) – Kirchhoff stress tensor.

Returns:

cauchy_stress – Cauchy stress tensor.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray (2d)
