Analysis of Deformation
The analysis of deformation aims at deriving descriptions of the local deformation in a material suitable for use in a constitutive relation. Often, but not always, this amounts to deriving a
strain tensor
.
This section starts by a general description of finite deformation in solids. At the end, the specialization to engineering strains used in geometrically linear analysis, is made.
