NOTE: Answer the below questions. Make necessary assumptions. However,
state your assumptions clearly.
Q1. The components of deformation gradient tensor F at a point are given as
˜

(b) Components of left stretch tensor U3×3
(c) Principal stretches λ1 , λ2 , λ3
(d) Shape and orientation of an infinitesimal sphere centered at point P in

in undeformed configuration.

Q2. State if the following statements are true or false:
(a) Determinant and trace of a second order tensor do not depend on choice
of co-ordinate system
(b) For incompressible materials det([F])=0 at all points in the domain
(c) For any initial value, boundary value problem, at all points and at all
times, det([F]) > 0

tensor are identically equal to zero
(e) For any problem and for choice of any coordinate system, an infinitesi-
mal cube in initial configuration transform to an infinitesimal cuboid in
deformed configuration

to an infinitesimal ellipsoid in deformed configuration

while metals, for large deformations, exhibit history dependent behavior
