Abstract
âºModern kinematic theory for flow and finite deformation is illustrated by forward modeling of various steady-state progressive deformations on lower-hemisphere stereographic projections. âºOn such projections, planar and linear material markers that undergo progressive shortening, progressive extension, shortening followed by extension, and extension followed by shortening are divided into fields separated by the non-material surfaces of zero stretching and the material surfaces defined by all material lines in the deformed state that originally constituted the surfaces of zero stretching. âºA revised approach to construct flow parameters and position gradient tensors from deformed planar and linear elements, using Mohr circles, is presented. âºOur models aid in the analysis of deformed linear and planar markers and in the illustration of various types of flow and of finite deformation.
