We desire a strain tensor that accurately captures large-strain deformation without being affected by rigid-body rotation.

Consider:

time=t time=t

d rc
P

dr

fixed coordinate system (xyz)

We can answer by writing the definition of the deformation gradient tensor in Einstein notation and expanding. We will also need the chain rule of differentiation.
