  • On the basis of the semi-linear material of John invoking the theory of homogenization for heterogeneous media and the theory of invariants for isotropic scalar functions an energy function is built for a transversely-isotropic medium in finite elastic deformation. The ponyting Effect for material in simple shear is reviewed for this case of transversal isotropy. It is shown that this effect is apprehended by the constructed energy function.
