Some Consideration on a Large Deformation Theory of Solids Subjected to Electromagnetic Loads

A large deformation theory of deformable solids has been proposed by the authors. In this theory, the loading path dependency and interaction with electromagnetic fields are taken into account and the distinction between the deformed and undeformed configurations is treated rigorously. In this paper, the governing equations for electromagnetism are summarized and the expressions by differential forms are given. The relationships with other theories which deal with moving rigid bodies and/or deformable bodies are also discussed
