PLANE DEFORMATIONS OF INCOMPRESSIBLE ISOTROPIC ELASTIC SOLIDS: AN INTEGRAL EQUATION FORMULATION
R.W. Ogden School of Mathematics, University of Bath, BA2 7AY, U.K. (Received 28 July 1977; accepted for print 6 August 1977.)
Introduction
In a recent paper [i] a new formulation of the plane-strain equations for compressible isotropic elastic solids was given, and for a particular class of strain-energy functions closed-form solutions to a number of boundary-value problems were derived. The method used was direct in that inverse or semiinverse techniques were not employed. Each of the boundary-value problems gave rise to an integral equation for the determination of a single complex function For incompressible isotropic elastic solids an analogous formulation was given in [2], and semi-inverse methods were used to illustrate the solutions of certain boundary-value problems. In this paper we present an integral equation formulation of the incompressible plane-strain problem which parallels that given in [I] for compressible elastic solids.
Description of the deformation
Let (XI,X2) be the rectangular Cartesian coordinates of a generic material point in the undeformed configuration and (Xl,X2) the coordinates of this point when material is deformed in such a way that no change occurs normal to the (l,2)-plane.
The coordinates x I and x 2 depend only on (XI,X2).
The (plane) deformation gradient 3xi/3X j is denoted by oij. In complex variable notation Z = X I + iX2, z = x I + ix 2. 3z 3--~ = ½{Oil + °22 + i(o21 - o12)},

On the boundary we may prescribe either z or h, for example, specification of h being equivalent to specification of the (nominal) traction.
At this point,
in order to arrive at a suitable integral equation equivalent of (9), we - -
depart, temporarily, from our use of Z and Z as independent variables.

The first equation in (I0) merely provides an expression for ~ once h and Z are determined.
Equations equivalent to (I0), but in other variables, can be
found in [3]. We write the solution as Z = f(z,~) .
(13)
According to Adkins [4], if (13) is a solution of (iO) and (12) then the 'inverse' z = f(Z,~)
(14)
is a solution of the same equations and for the same strain-energy function W. The proof given in [4] is rather inelegant, but a clearer and more general proof was given by Shield [5]. This inverse property of the equations can be seen immediately if the roles of Z and z are reversed and the function h*(Z,~) is defined by

We now illustrate the method by considering a specific problem,
adopting (18) as our starting point.
The inte.gral equation
It is well known that there can be two solutions to the zero-traction boundaryvalue problem for a hemi-spherical elastic shell.
The analogous problem in

plane-straln is that of a seml-clrcular shell also under zero traction, and we now examine this. Suppose the (undeformed and unstressed) shell is defined by A ~ R ~ B

(19)
where Z = Re i@ , and let the surfaces R = A,B (-½~ ~ @ ~ ½~) and @ = ±½~ (A ~ R ~ B) be free of traction, so that we may take h = 0 on these boundaries. Equation (15) allows us to replace the boundary condition by h* = O, and we therefore have from (18) h*(Z,g) = 2

The question now arises as to whether
Such a solution might be expected on
intuitive grounds, but the non-linearity of the equations seems to preclude the likelihood of an analytical solution being found.
For the neo-Hookean
solid Q = ~, a constant, but even in this case the basic problems remain. •
If the solution is assumed to be symmetrical about 8 = 0 the condition ~(Z,~) = f(Z,~) must be satisfied but this does not make solution of (22), (23) and (4) significantly easier. We do not take the problem any further at this stage, although if a second solution exists it should be feasible to find it numerically.
Our main
purpose is merely to give the integral equation formulation of the basic equations.
