Will the virtual work be valid in finite deformation?

Submitted by Weijie Liu on

"We see from the above that the virtual work statement is precisely the weak form of equilibrium equations and is valid for non-linear as well as linear stress-strain (or stress-strain rate) relations." --- written by O.C. Zienkiewicz etc. at Page 71 of <The Finite Element Method: Its Basis and Fundamentals  Sixth edition>

 

Here is my question: Will the virtual work still be valid for the case of non-linear strain-displacement relations (finite deformation)?
