Abstract
A theory for the equilibrium response of magnetoelastic membranes under pressure and applied magnetic fields is formulated on the basis of three-dimensional magnetoelasticity. A variational principle admitted by the three-dimensional theory is used to generate a model for membranes regarded as thin three-dimensional bodies. Minimum energy considerations in the presence of applied magnetic fields are used to motivate a direct theory of magnetoelastic membranes which does not require information about bulk properties. The theory is applicable to conventional elastomers magnetized through infusion with uniformly dispersed ferrous particles.

An introduction to continuum mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, the NavierStokes Equations are used to define linear elasticity for tensor analysis, and the invariance of material response is established. But the analysis is restricted to finite elasticity and cannot be extended to infinite elasticity.

Large Elastic Deformations of Isotropic Materials. VII. Experiments on the Deformation of Rubber

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the load-deformation curves obtained for certain simple types of deformation of vulcanized rubber test-pieces in terms of a single stored energy function can be interpreted on the basis of the theory of large elastic deformations of incompressible isotropic materials.
