Choice of an objective time derivative is still an open problem, even in elasticity. A geometrically based approach, defining the time deriva— tive as a covariant derivative in an appropriate nonlinear space - the infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold of deformation tensors, will be employed, and, via coordinate approach, the covariant derivative and its corresponding time derivative of an arbitrary tensor field will be explicitly expressed.
