Here we summarize the calculation of Freund (1998), using his notation (in a special case when the surface energy does not depend on the angle ), and following schematics: 
The starting point is the following expression of the total free energy of the body:
where is the bulk energy and is the surface energy, the latter being dependent on the restriction
of the deformation gradient to the unit tangent . The norm of , in particular, represents the tangential stretch. The goal of the calculation is to obtain the form
To arrive at , one follows two steps.
1) Taking the time derivative of both sides of , one obtains:
where is the normal velocity, and where
is the derivative of following the boundary. Introducing the bulk stress and the surface stress is defined by
we obtain
where is the curvature in the current configuration. Integrating by parts and using the divergence theorem, along with the boundary condition
yields with 1
and that
Thus, we have
Integrating over yields boundary terms and the desired term .
