Sommario/riassunto

Soft biological tissues often undergo large elastic (or nearly elastic) deformations that can be analyzed using the nonlinear theory of elasticity. Because of the varied approaches to nonlinear elasticity in the literature, some aspects of the subject may be difficult to appreciate.
