Cartesian coordinates continuum

The conservation equations for continuous flow of species K will be derived by using the idea of a control volume r t) enclosed by its control surface o t) and lying wholly within a region occupied by the continuum here t denotes the time. In this appendix only, the notation of Cartesian tensors will be used. Let i = 1, 2, 3) denote the Cartesian coordinates of a point in space. In Cartesian tensor notation, the divergence theorem for any scalar function belonging to the Kth continuum a (x, t), becomes... 

In many applications of continuum mechanics the center of mass of objects has special significance. It appears advantageous to use an analogous concept in fuzzy set theory, taking the value of membership function at each point x of a fuzzy set A in the role of mass density and the integral defined in Eq. (100) as the total mass of the fuzzy set A. This is easily accomplished if the underlying set X can be interpreted as a Euclidean space with a well-defined Cartesian coordinate system. In this case, the center of mass c( ) of fuzzy set A is defined as... 

A sufficiently good approximation to U for some purposes (1) is obtained by assuming the atoms of B to be smeared out in a continuum, replacing summation by integration. Thus, suppose the surface of the solid is the. XT-plane in a Cartesian coordinate system, with z increasing away from the surface (Fig. 2). Let p be the number of adsorbent atoms... 

The fundamental law of dynamics for fluid flow in a continuum is given in Table 1.1 in a Cartesian coordinate system O, x, y, z). The velocity vector is explained using its three velocity components Ux,Uy, and m ). The quantities fx, fy, and /z) are the three components of body forces, such as weight, pg. ... 

Let us return to the local form, in a Cartesian coordinate system, of the fundamental law of mechanics for a continuum, already seen in Chapter 1 (Table 1.1). The equations are reproduced below, omitting body forces ... 

Transitioning from the stress state of a particle to the stress field of the continuum, the interaction of the Cauchy stress tensor components of neighboring points needs to be investigated. They have to satisfy the conditions of local equilibrium to be established with the aid of an arbitrary infinitesimal volume element. Such an element with faces in parallel to the planes of the Cartesian coordinate system is subjected to the volume force and on the faces to the components of the Cauchy stress tensor with additional increments in the form of the first element of Taylor expansions on one of the respective opposing faces. The balance of moments proves the symmetry of the stress tensor,... 

Consider a structural member made from isotropic hyperelastic material with variable cross-section. The material lines follow the pattern of the continuum boundaries as depicted in Figure 1. In the initial configuration the position vector P of an arbitrary point on a general material line s with respect to the right-handed rectangular Cartesian coordinate system is given by ... 

The thermal radial and tangential stresses. Or and Ocp, Oy, derived in the system of the spherical coordinates (r,(p,v) related to the Cartesian system (OX1X2X3) (Fig. 1), are investigated in the point P of a continuum along the axes Xr and x, Xy of the Cartesian system (Px XipXy), where r is the distance fi om the spherical particle centre, O.
