Abstract:
A subclass of strictly conjugate tensors, namely, the tensors that satisfy the requirement for transformation by the same law upon rigid motion of the neighborhood of a material particle, is separated into the class of work-conjugate stress and strain tensors. The advantage of the use of strictly conjugate stress and strain tensors in formulating the variational principles for bodies from a hyperelastic material is shown.
