484 Calculations of the Relative Deformation Tensor

Other components can be derived similarly. Thus, with the pathline equations given by

the components of C t with respect to the bases e r eg and e z are:

To obtain the components of C t , one can either invert the symmetric matrix whose
components are given by Eqs. (8.8.9), or one can obtain them from the inverse functions of
Eq. (8.8.8), i.e.,
