Law of behavior; constitutive relation
Mathematical model describing the interactions between stress and the response of a material or structure to that stress.
Non-linéarités matérielles; material non-linearities
All the phenomena on the scale of the material leading to a non-linear relationship between the stress and the response of the material to this stress.
Elasticity
Mechanical behavior of a material in which it returns to its original shape when the stress to which it is subjected is removed.
Anisotropy; anisotropy
Characteristic of a material that exhibits different mechanical behavior depending on its orientation with respect to the same load (same direction and same amplitude).
