Cauchy stress is obtained from a response function, g, as per


equation (1). Now the co-ordinate system is rotated. The stress
and left Cauchy stretch tensor in the new co-ordinate system are
transformed as given in equations (2) and (3). In the new coordinate system, the response function is different, it is g*. The way
g operates on stress is different from that of g*. Eq (4) states coordinate invariance.
If material is isotropic then the response function is same and is
independent of co-ordinate system. For an anisotropic material it
depends on orientation.

Here also, similar logic. Here the stress is 1st PK stress. The stress is
obtained from a response function, h, as per equation (1). Now
the co-ordinate system is rotated. The stress and deformation
gradient in the new co-ordinate system are transformed as given in
equations (2) and (3). In the new co-ordinate system, the response
function is different, it is h*. The way h operates on stress is
different from that of h*. Eq (4) states co-ordinate invariance.
If material is isotropic then the response function is same and is
independent of co-ordinate system. For an anisotropic material it
depends on orientation. Is this correct?
