Abstract
A general motion is shown to be composed of an isochoric simple extension, a simple shear, a rotation and a pure dilatation. This helps to visualize a general motion in stages and to study the effect of the motion on the heat flux vector field. The result may also be regarded as a general decomposition theorem for tensors and matrices.
