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?

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 'Impractical 3D gears model for robotics'

https://newatlas.com/technology/abenics-versatile-active-ball-joint-gear/ They say this could be used as a shoulder joint for robots. Mind boggling! I'm amazed this has been done in real life. The model they show seems impractical to me. The ball spins in place but doesn't connect to anything. I guess what they would do would be attach a shaft to that ball, then restrict the motion so the drive gears don't contact the shaft. The ball would have two limited degrees of freedom then a...
