Let \(W\) be the current amount of energy stored in a unit volume as a result of the body undergoing deformation, then the time rate at which this energy changes will equal the stress tensor \(\mathbf {\tilde {B}}\) multiplied by the strain rate \(\frac {\partial \mathbf {\tilde {A}}}{\partial t}\). Therefore
The following table gives the stress tensor \(\mathbf {\tilde {B}}\), the strain rate \(\frac {\partial \mathbf {\tilde {A}}}{\partial t}\) and the strain \(\mathbf {\tilde {A}}\)
