Summary
The predictions regarding the Poynting effect, obtained by way of the constitutive equation of a simple elastic solid expressed in terms of the spatial description using the Cauchy stress are compared with those obtained by way of the constitutive equation of a simple elastic solid expressed in terms of the referential description using the second referential stress tensor. It is shown that the quantitative predictions of the constitutive equation of a simple elastic solid expressed in terms of the referential description are in good accord with the observations of experiment.
