A Note on the Objectivity (Rotational Invariance) of the Stored Energy Density in Continuum Physics

Classical Physics 2024-09-13 v1

Abstract

This short note is concerned with the rotational invariance of the stored energy density in continuum physics as a scalar function of a few vectors. A simple derivation is presented for the determination of the general form of the energy density in the case of a two-dimensional space. It is also shown that the general form of the energy density so determined may be further reduced. The three-dimensional case is also discussed.
