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):

โฆ Synopsis
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, tensor-valued mappings that are isotropic, i.e. C[QHQ T] = QC[HjQ T for all tensors H in the domain of C and all orthogonal tensors Q, where Q~ denotes the transpose of Q.
