This lecture provides a recap on hyperelasticity, focusing on the stress-stretch relationship in the Principal Axes coordinate system. It discusses the unique definition of Cauchy stress in terms of energy density, the challenges with incompressible materials, and solving boundary value problems. The application of hyperelasticity in designing a sports shoe is also explored, emphasizing the customization of stiffness based on individual weight.
