1 PK, 2PK vs true, nominal stress

Submitted by Andreas Burger on

Hi,

 if I have a material model defined in cauchy stress then I use test data with true stress (calculated from nominal stress: sigma_true=sigma_nom(1+epsilon_nom).

If I wanted to use nominal stress data, which stress tensor would I have to use to define my material model? First or second Piola Kirchhoff?
