[omicron]](T) stands for the Helmholtz free energy density of the unstressed state; the elastic strain energy density is conventionally defined as [[Florin].
The use of crack layer theory to predict the lifetime of the fatigue ... by Choi, Byoung-Ho; Balika, Werner; Chudnovsky, Alexander; Pinter, Gerald; Lang, Reinhold W. / Polymer Engineering and Science
However, the stress-strain evolution followed from the first loading, achieved under low strain rate, can be described using a hyperelastic formalism derived from elastic strain energy potential (24), (25).
Fracture analysis of rubber-like materials using global and local ... by Hocine, N. Ait; Abdelaziz, M. Nait / Polymer Engineering and Science
This was termed the tearing energy by Rivlin and Thomas (see reference 1), and it is defined by [Mathematical Expression Omitted] where U is the total elastic strain energy stored in the sample, A is the area of one fracture surface of the crack (in the unstrained state), and the partial derivative indicates that the sample is considered at a fixed deformation so the external forces do no work (strain controlled rather than load controlled deformation).
