On ellipticity of hyperelastic models restored by experimental data

The main result of the paper concerns necessary conditions for the strong ellipticity of elastic energy functions. Instead of the classical approach that solves the frame-indifference requirement in nonlinear elasticity using the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor \(C=F^TF\), the authors use the \(QR\)-expansion (with \(Q\) orthogonal and \(R\) upper triangular with positive elements on the diagonal). The necessary conditions for the strong ellipticity in the \(QR\)-expansion framework require a straightforward change of variables between the Cauchy-Green strain tensor and \(R(F).\) As an illustration, a particular two-dimensional case is presented.
