Abstract
In this paper we show that a symmetric isotropic matrix polynomial in any number of symmetric 3 × 3 matrices can be expressed as a symmetric isotropic matrix polynomial, in which each of the matrix products is formed from at most six matrices and has one of a certain number of forms which are explicitly given. The significance of these results in the mechanics of isotropic continua is indicated.
