This paper presents a new approach for the determination of all plane deformations with constant stretches. This problem is equivalent to the description of a special class of divergence-free plane symmetric tensor fields. Our approach is based on a compatibility condition for a plane symmetric tensor field to be the right stretch tensor of some deformation.
