Hyperelastic

When the constitutive relationship is expressed in terms of the strain energy density function, WD, the stress-stretch behavior is found by differentiation with respect to the stretch. For the case of purely incompressibility, the principle Cauchy stresses, are found by differentiating with respect to the principle stretches,

Cauchy stress tensor is expressed with principle Cauchy stress tensor and orientation matrix.

 

The stress components can also be expressed in vector for
