Derivative of the deformation gradient w.r.t Cauchy green tensor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding the derivative of the deformation gradient tensor F with respect to the Cauchy Green tensor C, defined as C = F'F. Participants clarify that the inquiry is not about the time derivative of the Cauchy Green tensor but specifically about the relationship between F and C. There is a focus on the mathematical implications and the need for precise definitions in the context of continuum mechanics. The conversation highlights the complexity of deriving such relationships and the importance of understanding tensor calculus. The topic remains unresolved, emphasizing the need for further exploration of the derivative in question.

What's the derivative of deformation gradient F w.r.t cauchy green tensor C, where C=F'F and ' denotes the transpose?

very helpful but it doesn't answer my question directly
 
Are you trying to find the derivative of the CG tensor with respect to time in terms of the time derivatives of the deformation gradient tensor and its transpose?

no, but of F w.r.t C
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
