Neff, Patrizio; Graban, Kai; Schweickert, Eva; Martin, Robert J. The axiomatic introduction of arbitrary strain tensors by Hans Richter – a commented translation of ‘Strain tensor, strain deviator and stress tensor for finite deformations’. (English) Zbl 1481.74008 Math. Mech. Solids 25, No. 5, 1060-1080 (2020). Summary: We provide a faithful translation of H. Richter’s important 1949 paper ‘Verzerrungstensor, Verzerrungsdeviator und Spannungstensor bei endlichen Formänderungen’ [Z. Angew. Math. Mech. 29, 65–75 (1949; Zbl 0031.42603)] from its original German version into English, complemented by an introduction summarizing Richter’s achievements.
