This decomposition simplifies the cubic tensor equation, decouples the spher- ical/deviatoric strain energy density, and lays the foundation for the von Mises yield criterion. Besides, it is verified that under the precondition of energy decoupling and the simplest form, the DSDT is the only possible form of the additive decomposition with physical meanings.展开更多
