(5.37) The Murnaghan potential can be meant as the classical one in the nonlinear theory of elasticity, it describes a large class of industrial materials, is widely used and is thoroughly commented in the fundamental books on nonlinear solid mechanics.
It seems to be the place to show a few different modifications of Murnaghan potential from different theories of elastic deformations. Six modifications can be listed here.
M1. Guz’s modification of Murnaghan potential
This model of deformation process can be referred to the classical theory of elasticity. The new potential has the form

Here,
5
Hik is the Green strain tensor,
5
Kiklm is the fourth rank tensor of the second order elastic constants.
This potential consists of two different nonlinear parts - quadratic and cubic. According to the author, the quadratic part characterizes anisotropy of material properties in the unloaded state of a body and corresponds to the potential of a linearly elastic anisotropic body. The cubic part corresponds to isotropic body.
The Guz’s potential was used for studying the regularities of wave propagation in poly- crystalline bodies having weak anisotropy of properties in a natural state (so-called quasi- isotropic bodies).
M2. Mindlin-Eringen’s modification of Murnaghan potential
This modification forms the basis for nonlinear micromorphic theory proposed by Mindlin and Eringen and goes out the framework of classical elasticity.

This theory is built similarly to the classical theory of hyperelasticity. Therefore, the internal energy is assumed to be the analytical function of tensors (5.39)-(5.41) and so on.
The most important for the next consideration is that the micromorphic continuum turned out the direct generalization of three well-known microstructural continua:
Cosserat continuum, Cosserat pseudo-continuum, and Le Roux gradient continuum.
M3. Cosserat’s modification of Murnaghan potential
In the Cosserat theory of asymmetric elasticity, some simplifications in the kinematic picture (4.39)-(4.41) should be done. Only six independent parameters are used here: the vector of macrodisplacements

Historical sketch. The first important step from the classical theory of elasticity to the theory of asymmetric elasticity has been taken by Voigt, which proposed to use the tensor of couple stres- ses in addition to the conventional tensor of force stresses.
The general theory of asymmetric elasticity has been developed about more than one hundred years ago by brothers Cosserat. It is wide adopted that this theory was anew discovered in 1960 by Truesdell and Toupin. A lot of high quality and well- known mechanicians have been involved in studies of asymmetric elasti- city that and the next decades. Most of the problems were solved and well commented. For exa mple, in Ukraine the well-known publications of Savin and his colleagues can be noted. Analogously, in Italy the high level publications of Grioli, Ferrarese and others should be mentioned. It can be noted also many efforts to the development of asymmetric elasticity have been made by Polish scientists (Nowacki, Wozniak).
M.4. Modification of Murnaghan potential in the Cosserat pseudo-continuum
The transition to Cosserat pseudo-continuum assumes a reduction of some independent kinematic quantities - the classical vector of macrodisplacements is only saved. The rotation in this continuum is restri- cted. Therefore, the vectors of macro-rotations and micro-rotations are identical

The next modification is associated with Le Roux variant of the moment theory of elasticity.
Only two tensors define the deformations picture:

Coupling the process is reflected only in the linear part, which can be explained as the influence of coupling is very weak. So, the Le Roux’s potential can be written in the form

M6. Modification of Murnaghan potential in the elastic mixture theory
Usually, two modifications of Murnaghan potential are used in the microstructural theory of mixtures. This theory can be treated as the direct generalization of the classical theory of elasticity in the case of multi-continuum media. The main hypothesis is that a material is modeled by the set of interacting and interpenetrating continua.
Consider further the two-phase (two-component) elastic mixtures. Then the kinematic picture of a deformation process is described using two partial displacements vectors

(as a rule, the Latin indexes take values 1;2;3 and Greek indexes – 1;2).
The first modification of Murnaghan potential follows from (5.47), when a cross- influence is taken into account both in quadratic nonlinear and in cubic nonlinear parts of the potential (that is, in the linear and quadratic nonlinear parts of constitutive equations)

The second mixture modification of Murnaghan potential is simpler than the modification (5.48):

A shown above plenty of potentials is characteristic for the nonlinear theory of elasticity
and differs this theory from the linear one where one potential is only used.
At the end, let us repeat the Note that seems important.
Note 5.12. The constitutive equations are evaluated by formulas (3.21),(3.22) for all kinds of hyperelastic potentials. Therefore, knowledge of the potential means a knowledge of constitutive equations. The equations of motion (equilibrium), equations (3.19),(3.20) for the strain tensors, and the depending on the form of elastic potential constitutive equations form the close system of the equations of the nonlinear theory of hyperelastic materials.
Comments
Comment 5.1. An effect of nonlinear dependence of decreasing the shear stresses when the torsion angle (deformation) to the level of non-small values is called “the Poynting effect”
owing to Poynting pub-li-cation of 1909, where this effect was described. At that, Poynting does not mentioned the results of Coloumb (1784), Wertheim (1857), Kelvin (1865), Bauschinger (1881), Tomlinson (1883), where this effect was also described in one way or another. But only within the framework of the nonlinear theory of elasticity that admits the finite elastic deformations, that was developed in 20 century, this effect was satisfactorily explained by Rivlin in 1951. He used the model of nonlinear elastic deformation which now is termed “the Mooney-Rivlin model”.
Comment 5.2. The most part of publications on hyperelastic materials realize an approach based on postulation of the elastic potential (explicit nonlinear dependence of internal energy) on the nonlinear strain tensors (their invariants or the corresponding principal stretches) that admits the large strains. Practically all the variants of potentials are tailored with use of the speculative considerations, can be associated with theoretical modeling of phenomenological character and assume ultima analysi the next determination of the presenting in the potentials physical constants by the ways, which are not linked with phenomenological considerations (mainly, by the experimental ways).
In studies of hyperelastic materials, the Murnaghan potential is used most often. This can be explained partially by that presence in this potential of the third algebraic invariant permits to take into account a row of significant nonlinear effects. Also, it became clear with time that both Murnaghan and his successors thought (being the mechanicians) very important the experiments on determination of the presented in the potential elastic constants (two Lame constants and three Murnaghan constants). Therefo- re. to date these constants are known for many tens of engineering materials.
But not all authors of potentials had so luck as Murnaghan. This can be associated with the adopted in the theoretical studies practice of speculative analysis and access to experiment at the final stage of studying the potential. Seeming- ly, not all the initiators of potential were realized an importance of determination of physical constants. It is known the sentence of Signorini about the time of starting with experiments – “the later, the better”.
May be, therefore Signorini has been not left an apparent trace of analysis of new constant from the potential named afterwards the Signorini potential. Despite of some advantage of its own potential (the potential includes one only constant of the third order, whereas, for example, the Murnaghan potential includes three constants of the third order), Signorini lost the struggle against Murnaghan for sympathy of next investigators. The well-known fact of

advantage has the approach, which is using the less number of physical constants, Signorini has been not used. Later after many tens years of oblivion, the Signorini potential is used to describe the nonlinear waves in elastic materials.
