Green-Lagrange strain tensor

ID: green-lagrange-strain-tensor

With the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor , the Green-Lagrange strain tensor measures the change in the material metric. Since , its work-conjugate stress and strain partner is the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor . The formula follows by cycling factors in , not by identifying nominal and symmetric material stress.
