Can anyone help with a detailed description of attached below equations (Solid Mechanics and Linear Elastic Material), because Comsol's help is not very useful.

I will be glad to any links with help or your expirience and advices. Thanks!

Hi,

The equations shown in the Equation section of the settings for a physics feature is only intended as an indication of the type of its contribuitons. They are not inteded as a complete theory. As an example, notation is not introduced.

To get the in-depth theory, you should read the Structural Mechanics Theory chapter in the Structural Mechanics Module User's Guide.

This said, the first equation represents the equation of motion (density*acceleration = gradient of 1st Piola-Kirchhoff stress + volume forces).

The second eqution is the computation of elastic stresses, under the assumption of geometric nonlinearity.
