3.23 Right Cauchy-Green Deformation Tensor

Next:  3.23  Stretch Tensors

We know that  provides the deformation gradient. One of the strain measures was infinitesimal strain , stretch tensor . We have a new measure  called the Green's deformation  tensor.  We know that  is the right stretch tensor. Define

Note that if were to be a pure rotation tensor (proper orthogonal), then
