RESUMO

A method of successive Lagrangian formulation of linear approximation for solving boundary value problems of large deformation in finite elasticity is proposed. Instead of solving the nonlinear problem, by assuming time steps small enough and the reference configuration updated at every step, we can linearize the constitutive equation and reduce it to linear boundary value problems to be solved successively with incremental boundary data. Moreover, nearly incompressible elastic body is considered as an approximation to account for the condition of incompressibility. For the proposed method, numerical computations of pure shear of a square block for Mooney-Rivlin material are considered and the results are compared with the exact solutions.
