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

Click For 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?

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 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
