Abstract

In solid mechanics Lagrangian motion descriptions are normally applied where a given reference volume is associated with the same set of material particles at all stages of deformation. Two forms of the Lagrangian description, the total Lagrangian description (TLD) and the updated Lagrangian description (ULD). are noted in the literature see for example [1–5].
