Abstract
It is shown that a compressible elastic body — not necessarily homogeneous or isotropic — is hyperelastic provided the work done by all external forces acting on an arbitrary part of the body vanishes for every sufficiently smooth cyclic motion in which each material point returns to its initial position with a velocity equal to its initial velocity.
