and as is obvious, the inverse (U*) –1 by<br />

Note that both U and U –1 are symmetric positive definite tensors given by<br />

R = F ⋅ U –1 (4.9-11)<br />

R T ⋅ R = (F ⋅ U –1 ) T ⋅ (F ⋅ U –1 ) = (U –1 ) T ⋅ F T ⋅ F ⋅ U –1<br />

= U –1 ⋅ C ⋅ U –1 = U –1 ⋅ U ⋅ U ⋅ U –1 = I (4.9-12)<br />

which shows that R is proper orthogonal.<br />

The second decomposition in Eq 4.9-1 may be confirmed by a similar<br />

development using C –1 = F ⋅ F T = V 2 .<br />

Example 4.9-1<br />

A homogeneous de<strong>for</strong>mation is given by the equations x 1 = 2X 1 – 2X 2, x 2 =<br />

X 1 + X 2 and x 3 = X 3 . Determine the polar decomposition F = R ⋅ U <strong>for</strong> this<br />

de<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

Solution<br />

The matrix <strong>for</strong>m of the tensor F iA ≡ x i,A is easily determined to be<br />
