asymmetric In 1974, Gurtin [1] gave an elegant proof of the representation theorem for isotropic, linear stress-strain relations, considerably improving the one supplied by the same author in [2]. We cite this theorem literally as follows (notations will be explained subsequently):
The title's result is proved by reduction to the corresponding representation theorem for linear isotropic vector-valued mappings of a vector argument.
The well-know representation theorem for the elasticity tensor C of an isotropic body shows that for all symmetric tensors E, where tr(E) denotes the trace of E and I is the identity tensor. This theorem is actually a special case of a classical result (cf. e.g. [Je 31, Chapter 7]) on linear, tenso
