Work conjugate strain of virial stress

Certain stress tensor and strain tensor form a conjugate pair if there exists a scalar valued strain energy function such that the stress tensor is equal to the derivative of strain energy function with respect to the strain tensor. Virial stress is widely accepted as the stress measurement in molec...
