In a recent paper, Rivlin (2002) ”revised” the concepts of material symmetry and strongly criticises the approach to symmetry and frame‐indifference by Truesdell and Noll (1964). A simple comparison of these approaches, however, leads us to the conclusion that ‐ apart from some minor and irrelevant differences ‐ the two approaches have more in common than Rivlin concedes. To show this, we will brießy describe these two approaches and then show how they are related to each other. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
