A question on a notation used in hyperelastic literature

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the meaning of the tilde sign in a hyperelasticity equation involving the strain energy function. The equation relates the strain energy, represented by w0, to the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor (s) and the Green-Lagrangian strain tensor (e). The original poster is uncertain if the tilde signifies Voigt notation, as it appears frequently in hyperelastic literature. They express difficulty in formatting inline equations and seek assistance with this issue. Clarification on the notation and formatting is requested for better understanding and communication.

Could someone please tell me what the tilde sign stands for in this equation:$$w_{0}\left(e_{ij}\right)=\int s_{ij}d\tilde{e_{ij}}=\frac{1}{2}\,\underline{\underline{s}}:\underline{\underline{e}}$$

where and ##\underline{\underline{e}}## is the Green Lagrangian strain tensor and ##\underline{\underline{s}}## is the 2nd Piola-Kirchoff stress tensor, if I'm not mistaken ##w_{0}## is the strain energy in the material reference frame.

I have been trying to find out but no luck yet. I thought it was the Voigt notation but apparently it isn't. I have seen this notation in a lot of literature related to hyperelastic materials which I think uses the same symbol, for instance:

p.s. I am not sure how to create inline equations here. I would appreciate it if someone edited this or told me how.

Enclose the equations in ## delimiters. (not $)

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
