Abstract

Inspired by Cardano's method for solving cubic scalar equations, the additive decomposition of spherical/deviatoric tensor (DSDT) is revisited from a new viewpoint. This decomposition simplifies the cubic tensor equation, decouples the spherical/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.
