Abstract:
Polar decomposition tensors are constructed for slightly disturbed kinematic elastic, inelastic, and thermal strain tensors. Provided that the inelastic and thermal site gradients are pure deformations without rotations, relations are obtained between inelastic small strains and small rotations and between thermal small strains and small rotations which transform an intermediate configuration to a close current configuration.
Keywords:elastic, inelastic and thermal strains, small disturbances, eigenvectors and eigenvalues, polar decomposition.
