We study the response of a class of transversely elastic bodies, wherein the Green–Saint Venant strain tensor is a function of the second Piola–Kirchhoff stress tensor, when the body is residually stressed. The notion of such non-Cauchy elastic bodies being transversely isotropic is defined in Rajagopal (Mech. Res. Commun. 64, 2015, 38–41), and by a body being residually stressed, we mean the interior of the body is not in a stress-free state although the boundary is free of traction as considered by Coleman and Noll (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 15, 1964, 87–111) and by Hoger (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 88, 1985, 271–289).
