Abstract

In this paper, a result involving the eigenprojections of the right stretch and its derivative with respect to the deformation gradient is derived, and a related result is found for the rotation. As an application, the form of the constitutive law for an isotropic hyperelastic material in the case when the strain energy function is expressed in terms of the right stretch, is shown to follow at once.
