first_piola_from_kirchhoff(def_gradient, kirchhoff_stress)

First Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor from Kirchhoff stress tensor.

$$\mathit{P}=\mathit{\tau }{\mathit{F}}^{-T}$$

where $\mathit{P}$ is the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor, $\mathit{\tau }$ is the Kirchhoff stress tensor, and $\mathit{F}$ is the deformation gradient.

Parameters:

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

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

Returns:

first_piola_stress – First Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray (2d)
