It should be noted that K; /E! 9 and K; /E! ? are coupled volumetric—isochoric terms. In Proof (4) we have seen that powers of tr[CM] are polyconvex; these functions represent powers of the stretch in the oreferred direction. As such it seems to be elemental that stretches in the isotropy plane also make sense as specific ansatz functions. For the construction of such further mixed terms we use the redundant structural ensor (3.25). We obtain the polynomial invariant
