Principal Cauchy stress constitutive models

Hyperelastic material models often rely upon the strain energy density function W formulated in terms of strain invariants. Under the assumption of an isotropic incompressible behavior of the material under uniaxial loading, the principal Cauchy stress constitutive models as a function of invariants yields:
