For an isotropic hyperelastic material with incompressibility, the principal stresses are ti​=λi​∂W/∂λi​−p. This follows by evaluating the Cauchy stress tensor formula T=F(∂F​W)T−pI in principal directions. For the reduced strain energy density h(λ)=W(λ−2,λ,λ), the chain rule and equality of the tangential derivatives give tθ​−tr​=λh′(λ)/2.
