In accordance with the framework of hyperelastic isotropic material description it appears possible to replace work-conjugate stress and strain quantities by alternative pairs while other things left unaltered, i.e. based on a retained architecture energy density function. This replacement results in formally representing different kinds response behavior. may be recognized from various compara...

The adjectives "generic", "subgeneric", "specific", and "individual" are proposed to be added to the term "quantity", depending on the case, in order to diminish the ambiguity of this term and to classify the different types of quantities.
