Two shearing deformations and their tilting angle ϕ of a soft solid initially occupying a cube of side L. (a) Simple shear, where the top and the bottom faces move on parallel planes. (b) Shear-box, where the initial front and back square faces become rhombic. In the latter case, two of the Eulerian principal directions are aligned with the diagonals of the rhombi.
