Lamé parameters from hyperelastic energy Hessian

ID: lame-parameters-from-hyperelastic-energy-hessian

At a stress-free natural reference state, an objective isotropic hyperelastic material with energy per unit mass has , where . Twice differentiating gives the displayed Lamé parameters and the usual elastic stiffness tensor. A prestressed reference requires initial-stress corrections.
