Abstract

Continuum mechanics is an applied science with the wide applications in material, mechanical and chemical engineering.  Kinematics is a science study of material deformations (from external forces) and movements.  Those deformations are comprised of linear and angular deformations while movements come from translations and rotations.  This article presents the procedures of determining the material deformation at current time  from the undeformed shape at initial time .  This technique is commonly used in rigid bodies, elastic solids, hyperelastic materials, including viscoelastic materials.  The deformation gradient tensor  can be decomposed to right stretch tensor  (or left stretch tensor ) and rotation tensor .  The rate of deformation has the more profound effects in liquids than in solids.Keywords :  continuum mechanics, kinematics, deformation gradient, rate of deformation
