Up to now, all deformation measures have been built on the first differential invariants I l and
I r of surface geometry , which are also called d S 2 and d s 2 . Such an invariant “left” or “right”
measures the infinitesimal distance between two points on the “left” or the “right” surface. A
dual measure of a surface (two-dimensional Riemann manifold) immersed in
3 is the infinitesimal
surface element . Indeed, the surface element “left versus right”, ( 1.264 ), is dual to the infinitesimal
distance element “left versus right”, ( 1.265 ):

versus d s 2 = g 11 d u 2 +2 g 12 d u d v + g 22 d v 2 .

Indeed, the left surface element det[G l ]d U
d V as well as the right surface element det[G r ]d u
d v have enabled us to introduce dual measures to the left length element dU T G l d U as well as
to the right length element du T G r d u There exist representations of the multiplicative measure of

the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor, the Euler-Lagrange deformation tensor, and the principal
stretches (left or right eigenvalues), which we collect in Box 1.39 and turn out to be useful in the
equivalence theorem.
