Abstract
Mohr diagrams for the position gradient tensor are a useful tool in problems of finite deformation, for example to determine the angle between deformed lines and the angle of rotation of finite strain axes. The conventional Mohr diagram is less suitable, however, to visualise progressive deformation or deformation paths. A sliding-scale Mohr diagram is introduced which serves this purpose better. It consists of a Mohr circle of fixed diameter and a mobile reference frame origin that maps the deformation path. The sliding-scale Mohr diagram can be used as a visualisation tool for teaching purposes and for research on kinematics of progressive deformation.
