Consider a differential (i.e. very small) element in a thick walled cylinder originally at (R,?,Z) (i.e. in its unloaded state). This element moves to (r,?,z) after loading. A general expression for deformation gradient in cylindrical coordinates is: F=??R?r?r?R????R?z??R1????r?Rr??????R1????z???Z?r?r?Z????Z?z??? a) Find deformation gradient F and Green strain E for the following mapping of deformation for this element. r=aR,?=?,z=bZ b) Interpret this deformation.
