Abstract
Using the well known representation theorem for isotropic tensor functions, the stress-strain law for a thermoelastic material can be written as:
where σ and B are appropriate tensors of stress and strain respectively. Although not yet necessary at the moment, we will define for later use σ as the Cauchy stress and B as the left Cauchy-Green tensor. The coefficients ø 0, ø 1, ø 2 depend on three orthogonal invariants I B, II B, III B of B forming an integrity base and on the temperature T:
In many cases the principal invariants of B are taken to be I B, II B, III B and for the present we will do the same. However, any other integrity base of strain invariants is admissible, as long as no further restrictions are imposed on (1).
