Bruno, in r1926, I got rid of Cell::strain and use Cell::trsf instead (current transformation, i.e. F); this way there is no strain+Id=trsf, which you didn't like. I also renamed a few data members to be more descriptive (such as shearIncrt -> trsfInc and so on).
Referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_strain_theory, what does velGrad correspond to? I am still a little at loss with this one. I don't understand how to prescribe per-component transformation rate. For instance I want pure shear in xy plane along +x axis, i.e. constant rate of εyx (whatever we have as definition of εyx), without volume changes; just pure shear. What value of velGrad will achieve that? (For instance scripts/test/periodic-triax-velgrad.py, how to make pure shear in the xy plane, without continuously decreasing y-size of the cell? O.cell.trsf is Matrix3(0.944438,0.360025,0, 0,0.944438,0, 0,0,1), but I would like it to be Matrix3(1,...,0,0,1,0,0,0,1). ) I would like to have some straightforward way, something like trsfRate=Matrix3(0,1,0, 0,0,0, 0,0,0), which would progressively apply just that one shear.
