FIGURE P4.1<br />

Unit square OABC in the reference configuration.<br />

To determine the time rate of change of dV, we take the material derivative<br />

as follows:<br />

(dV) • = = Jtr(L) dV ° = Jvi,i dV ° = vi,i dV (4.11-9)<br />

˙ JdV o<br />

Thus, a necessary and sufficient condition <strong>for</strong> a motion to be isochoric is that<br />

v i,i = div v = 0 (4.11-10)<br />

In summary, we observe that the de<strong>for</strong>mation gradient F governs the<br />

stretch of a line element, the change of an area element, and the change of<br />

a volume element. But it is the velocity gradient L that determines the rate<br />

at which these changes occur.<br />

Problems<br />

4.1 The motion of a continuous medium is specified by the component<br />

equations<br />

x 1 = (X 1 + X 2)e t + (X 1 – X 2)e –t<br />

x 2 = (X 1 + X 2)e t – (X 1 – X 2)e –t<br />

x 3 = X 3<br />
