Lecture

Polar Decomposition Theorem

Description

This lecture discusses the Polar Decomposition Theorem, which states that any deformation can be decomposed into a stretch followed by a rotation or a rotation followed by a stretch. This theorem is crucial as it allows isolating stretching from rotation, preventing stress induction in the body, especially in cases where small strains do not apply.
