where the <strong>di</strong>rect dependency upon X allows the possible <strong>in</strong>homogeneity of thematerial.In the special case when the work done by the stresses dur<strong>in</strong>g a deformation processis dependent only on the <strong>in</strong>itial state at time t 0and the f<strong>in</strong>al configuration at time t ,the behavior of the material is said to be path-<strong>in</strong>dependent and the material is termedhyperelastic or Green-elastic. As a consequence of the path-<strong>in</strong>dependent behavior aHelmholtz stored energy function or elastic potential W per unit undeformed volumecan be established from which the first Piola-Kirchhoff stress is computed us<strong>in</strong>g∂W ( FX ( ), X)PFX ( ( ), X)=∂F(3.90)Because of the restrictions imposed by the objectivity, the stored energy functionrema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>variant when the current configuration undergoes a rigid body rotation.This implies that W depends on F only via the stretch component U and it is<strong>in</strong>dependent of the rotation component R . For convenience, however, W is oftenexpressed as a function of2 TC= U = F F asW( FX ( ), X) = W ( CX ( ), X)(3.91)Observ<strong>in</strong>g that 1 C= E is work conjugate to the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress S2enables a totally Lagrangian constitutive equation to be constructed <strong>in</strong> the samemanner as equation (3.90) to give( ( ), ) 2 ∂W= =∂WSCX X∂C∂E(3.92)53
