Field tensor formulation

The method of Thole was developed with the help of the induced dipole formulation, when all dipoles interact through the dipole field tensor. The modification introduced by Thole consisted in changing the dipole field tensor ... 

In the tensor formulation the difference between electric and magnetic fields disappears. What one observer interprets as an electric process another may regard as magnetic, although the actual particle motions that they predict will be identical12 [37]. 

Using the equilibrium equations of the elasticity theory enables one to determine the stress tensor component (Tjj normal to the plane of translumination. The other stress components can be determined using additional measurements or additional information. We assume that there exists a temperature field T, the so-called fictitious temperature, which causes a stress field, equal to the residual stress pattern. In this paper we formulate the boundary-value problem for determining all components of the residual stresses from the results of the translumination of the specimen in a system of parallel planes. Theory of the fictitious temperature has been successfully used in the case of plane strain [2]. The aim of this paper is to show how this method can be applied in the general case. 

In integrated photoelasticity it is impossible to achieve a complete reconstruction of stresses in samples by only illuminating a system of parallel planes and using equilibrium equations of the elasticity theory. Theory of the fictitious temperature field allows one to formulate a boundary-value problem which permits to determine all components of the stress tensor field in some cases. If the stress gradient in the axial direction is smooth enough, then perturbation method can be used for the solution of the inverse problem. As an example, distribution of stresses in a bow tie type fiber preforms is shown in Fig. 2 [2]. 

In previous presentations [16-19,28], the LORG equations are formulated in a nucleus centered coordinate system. Explicit reference to a field point R, can be introduced following eq.(13), and the resulting LORG equations for the i, j th element of the shielding tensor become... 

The various response tensors are identified as terms in these series and are calculated using numerical derivatives of the energy. This method is easily implemented at any level of theory. Analytic derivative methods have been implemented using self-consistent-field (SCF) methods for a, ft and y, using multiconfiguration SCF (MCSCF) methods for ft and using second-order perturbation theory (MP2) for y". The response properties can also be determined in terms of sum-over-states formulation, which is derived from a perturbation theory treatment of the field operator — [iE, which in the static limit is equivalent to the results obtained by SCF finite field or analytic derivative methods. 

Section II deals with the general formalism of Prigogine and his co-workers. Starting from the Liouville equation, we derive an exact transport equation for the one-particle distribution function of an arbitrary fluid subject to a weak external field. This equation is valid in the so-called "thermodynamic limit , i.e. when the number of particles N —> oo, the volume of the system 2-> oo, with Nj 2 = C finite. As a by-product, we obtain very easily a formulation for the equilibrium pair distribution function of the fluid as well as a general expression for the conductivity tensor. 

The extension of a Klein-Gordon-like equation, see Eqs. (65)-(73), to include gravitational interactions is quite straightforward in our present theory. Since general relativity associates gravity with tensor fields, we need to incorporate the operator and their conjugate counterparts simultaneously. To accomplish the first part of the conjugate pair formulation, we will attach to our previous model in the basis m,m), the interaction... 

The three-field formulation should reduce to a convenient approximation of the Stokes problem when applied to a Newtonian flow. Hence a second inf-sup condition is necessary to obtain stability. If the approximation (Tv)h of the extra-stress tensor is continuous, this supplementary condition can be satisfied by using a sufficient number of interior nodes in each element. On the contrary if this approximation is discontinuous, this can be done by imposing that the derivatives DUh of the approximated velocity field are in the space of (Tv)h- Various possible choices concerning the satisfaction of the inf-sup condition and the introduction of upwinding have been explored since 1987. In the following we will recall the basic steps (see [10], [24] and [38] for details). 

Among the equations that govern a viscoelastic problem, only the constitutive equations differ formally from those corresponding to elastic relationships. In the context of an infinitesimal theory, we are interested in the formulation of adequate stress-strain relationships from some conveniently formalized experimental facts. These relationships are assumed to be linear, and field equations must be equally linear. The most convenient way to formulate the viscoelastic constitutive equations is to follow the lines of Coleman and Noll (1), who introduced the term memory by stating that the current value of the stress tensor depends upon the past history... 

Within a Lagrangian formulation of the mechanics of a field as used here one may define an energy-momentum tensor whose components summarize the principal properties of the field (Morse and Feshbach 1953 Landau and Lifshitz 1975). We show that the divergence equations satisfied by the spatial components of this tensor for the Schrodinger field yield the differential form of the atomic force law, eqn (8.175) (Bader 1980). 

The momentum equations in the whole field formulation can also be rewritten in a momentum conserving form [132] [183] [92], defining a 3D capillary pressure tensor... 

The angular terms are formulated as the radiation probability in a direction B to the principal axis (z axis) of the magnetic field or the electric field gradient tensor. The appropriate functions (/, m) are listed in Table 3.3. The... 

The various mechanisms of mixing are thoroughly discussed by Wybourne (2). One of the most important mechanisms responsible for the mixing is the coupling of states of opposite parity by way of the odd terms in the crystal field expansion of the perturbation potential V, provided by the crystal environment about the ion of interest. The expansion is done in terms of spherical harmonics or tensor operators that transform like spherical harmonics. This can be formulated in a general Eq. (1)... 

It is actually a straightforward procedure to include gravitational interactions within the present framework. Although gravity is associated with a tensor field, we will here initiate the formulation by augmenting the present complex symmetric model, in the basis m, m), with the scalar interaction (the word scalar is placed in quotation marks since the potential will be built into an appropriate matrix formalism, see also a more detailed formulation in the next section) ... 

General relativity is the theory that gave physical content to Riemaim s formulation of curved mathematical space and identifies the four-dimensional metric tensor with the gravitational field. The four dimensions of general relativity are the same as in the Minkowski space of special relativity. The velocity of light remains a constant in free space and the inability to specify simultaneous events remains in force. 

Kaluza and Klein managed to formulate a unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism in terms of Einstein s field equations in five-dimensional space, but with the metric tensor defined to be independent of the fourth space dimension. Without this restriction, solution of the equations in apparent 5D vacuum ... 

Beside the Green-Kubo and the Einstein formulations, transport properties can be calculated by non-equilibrium Ml) (NEMD) methods. These involve an externally imposed field that drives the system out of the equilibrium. Similar to experimental approaches, the transport properties can be extracted from the longtime response to this imposed perturbation. E.g., shear flow and energy flux perturbations yield shear viscosity and thermal conductivity, respectively. Numerous NEMD algorithms can be found in the literature, e.g., the Dolls tensor [221], the Sllod algorithm [222], or the boundary-driven algorithm [223]. A detailed review of several NEMD approaches can be found, e.g., in [224].

Theory and Physics of Piezoelectricity. The discussion that follows constitutes a very brief introduction to the theoretical formulation of the physical properties of crystals. If a solid is piezoelectric (and therefore also anisotropic), acoustic displacement and strain will result in electrical polarization of the solid material along certain of its dimensions. The nature and extent of the changes are related to the relationships between the electric field (E) and electric polarization (P). which are treated as vectors, and such elastic factors as stress Tand strain (S), which are treated as tensors. In piezoelectric crystals an applied stress produces an electric polarization. Assuming Ihe dependence is linear, the direct piezoelectric effect can be described by the equation ...
