Abstract: We consider the two logarithmic strain measures[omega_{ m iso}=|mathrm{dev}_nlog U|=|mathrm{dev}_nlog sqrt{F^TF}|quad ext{ and }quad omega_{ m vol}=|mathrm{tr}(log U)|=|mathrm{tr}(logsqrt{F^TF})|,,]which are isotropic invariants of the Hencky strain tensor logU, and show that they can be uniquely characterized by purely geometric methods based on the geodesic distance on the general linear group mathrmGL(n). Here, F is the deformation gradient, U=sqrtFTF is the right Biot-stretch tensor, log denotes the principal matrix logarithm, |.| is the Frobenius matrix norm, mathrmtr is the trace operator and mathrmdevnX is the n-dimensional deviator of XinmathbbRnimesn. This characterization identifies the Hencky (or true) strain tensor as the natural nonlinear extension of the linear (infinitesimal) strain tensor varepsilon=mathrmsymablau, which is the symmetric part of the displacement gradient ablau, and reveals a close geometric relation between the classical quadratic isotropic energy potential [mu,|mathrm{dev}_nmathrm{sym}

abla u|^2+frac{kappa}{2},[mathrm{tr}(mathrm{sym}

abla u)]^2=mu,|mathrm{dev}_nvarepsilon|^2+frac{kappa}{2},[mathrm{tr}(varepsilon)]^2]in linear elasticity and the geometrically nonlinear quadratic isotropic Hencky energy[mu,|mathrm{dev}_nlog U|^2+frac{kappa}{2},[mathrm{tr}(log U)]^2=mu,omega_{ m iso}^2+frackappa2,omega_{ m vol}^2,,]where mu is the shear modulus and kappa denotes the bulk modulus. Our deduction involves a new fundamental logarithmic minimization property of the orthogonal polar factor R, where F=R,U is the polar decomposition of F. We also contrast our approach with prior attempts to establish the logarithmic Hencky strain tensor directly as the preferred strain tensor in nonlinear isotropic elasticity.
