Note that knowing the strain tensor associated to an homogeneous transformation does not define the uniquely the transformation (the translation and the rotation terms remain undetermined) Some properties of homogeneous Deformation

NB: The representation of principal extensions on this diagram is correct only for infinitesimal strain only The strain ellipse
Rk: For an infinitesimal deformation the principal extensions are small (typically less than 1%). The strain ellipse are close to a circle. For visualisation the strain ellipse is represented with some exaggeration
Relation between the infinitesimal strain tensor and displacement gradient
F. Finite, infinitesimal and progressive deformation –Finite deformation is said to be non-rotational if the principle strain axis in the initial and final configurations are parallel. This characterizes only how the final state relates to the initial state –Finite deformation of a body is the result of a deformation path (progressive deformation). –There is an infinity of possible deformation paths to reach a particular finite strain. –Generally, infinitesimal strain (or equivalently the strain rate tensor) is used to describe incremental deformation of a body that has experienced some finite strain –A progressive deformation is said to be coaxial if the principal axis of the infinitesimal strain tensor remain parallel to the principal axis of the finite strain tensor. This characterizes the deformation path.

If A and B are parallel to a and b respectively the deformation is said to be non-rotational (This means R= 1) Rotational vs non-rotational deformation
