Can we calculate strain energy function based on stress-strain?

Submitted by yw5aj on

Hi all,

 

I do know that we can get 1-st PK stress P from taking derivative of the strain energy function W with respect to deformation gradient F. However, would there be any way to back the W out from integrating P with F, or something similar?

 

Thanks in advance,
