      Constitutive equations of an isotropic hyperelastic body (English)
      0 references
      Stress-strain equations for an isotropic hyperelastic body are formulated. It is shown that the strain energy density whose gradient determines stresses can be defined as a function of two rather than three arguments, namely, strain-tensor invariants. In the case of small strains, the equations become relations of Hook's law with two material constants, namely, shear modulus and bulk modulus.
