On deformation-gradient tensors as two-point tensors in curvilinear coordinates
Abstract
We derive a general expression for the deformation-gradient tensor by invoking the standard definition of a gradient of a vector field in curvilinear coordinates. This expression shows the connection between the standard definition of a gradient of a vector field and the deformation gradient tensor in continuum mechanics. We illustrate its application in the context of problems discussed by Ogden [1997].
