Transformation of coordinates from

Two terms in Eqs. (17) and (18) are worthy of special note. In Eq. (17) the term pvj/r is the centrifugal force. That is, it is the effective force in the r direction arising from fluid motion in the 0 direction. Similarly, in Eq. (18) pvrvg/r is the Coriolis force, or effective force in the 0 direction due to motion in both the r and 0 directions. Both of these forces arise naturally in the transformation of coordinates from the Cartesian frame to the cylindrical polar frame. They are properly part of the acceleration vector and do not need to be added on physical grounds.

As shown in Figure 1.47, it is possible to select a different Cartesian basis, XYZ, which is related to the original basis, XYZ, by the identical rotation around Z and in which the coordinates of the point A will be x, y, z, i.e. they are invariant to this transformation of coordinates. From the schematic shown in Figure 1.47 it is easy to establish that the rotational relationships between the coordinate triplets x, y, z and x, y, z in the original basis XYZ are given as... 

In deriving this source term from (3.3.2) we must recognize the transformation of coordinates from (x, r) to (x, r) thanks to the Jacobian present in the integral. The derivation of the sink term, on the other hand, is more straightforward. 

The conversion rules from the Siju and Ciju notation to the abbreviated notation are given in Section 2.5. It is important to remember that the engineering strains ep are not the components of a tensor. Similarly, the 6 x 6 compliance matrix Spq does not represent a tensor, and therefore tensor manipulation rules do not apply. As will be demonstrated, for working out problems involving transformation of coordinates from one system of axes to another, it is always desirable to use the original tensor notation in terms of Cy, ou and Syu or Cyu.

The first term is the intrinsic electronic energy of the adsorbate eo is the energy required to take away an electron from the atom. The second term is the potential energy part of the ensemble of harmonic oscillators we do not need the kinetic part since we are interested in static properties only. The last term denotes the interaction of the adsorbate with the solvent the are the coupling constants. By a transformation of coordinates the last two terms can be combined into the same form that was used in Chapter 6 in the theory of electron-transfer reactions. 

The form of W as a function of the set of must be derived from molecular theory or from experimental measurement. It cannot be deduced from the phenomenologic theory of continua, just as the free energy cannot be deduced from thermodynamics. However, the phenomenologic theory imposes the following restrictions on the form of W if the material is isotropic 18 First, W must be an even power function of X,-(restriction A). Second, W must be invariant for permutations of Xt (restriction B). Third, W must be invariant for the transformation of coordinate axes (restriction C).

A different expression for T,z can be obtained directly from Eq. (5.62) without the transformation of coordinates. Therefore, it is convenient to recast the configuration integral as [329]... 

The position of any polymer chain (or a segment of that chain) in an oriented (drawn) sample can be described by a rotational transformation of tensors from a molecular coordinate frame in a typical structural unit (xyz) to a sample coordinate frame (XoYqZo) with the Euler angles (afSy) and (aijSiyi) (Fig. 8.1).

Meanwhile, a simple transformation of coordinate axes from the 1,2 system to the 1, 2 system by a rotation of 7t/4 gives by a Mohr-circle construction the shear stress T acting on the 1, 2 -axis system... 

Mohr s circle may be used in the transformation of stresses from one coordinate system to another. Figure 1.21 may also be used for this purpose. Consider Fig. 1.21a or 1.17a representing the normal and shear stresses, ffy and x y acting on the respective planes in the body characterized by the coordinate system, X and y. The stresses acting in the new coordinate system, x and y, after rotation to an angle 0, from x towards x, are indicated in Fig. 1.21b. The previous Mohr s circle shows the stress state of Fig. 1.21a at points A and B with coordinates Txy and ffy, Tyx, respectively. Now, a line may be drawn between these two points, and then rotated to angle 20, which is twice the angle 0 between x and x and in the opposite direction of 0. A Une drawn after the rotation between the two new points, E and F, provides the new stresses, [Pg.34]

If it is wished to establish the inertia in the non-inertial reference system, the translational inertia must be transformed through the MTF representing the change of coordinates from to Vq. This transformation results in an inertia that is equal to the translational inertia and an asymmetric gyristor with a matrix of coeflBcients of expression (9.14), as can be seen in Fig. 9.9 ... 

These equations complete the Lagrangian flamelet model. A transformation of coordinates different from that presented in Eqs. (5.75)-(5.77) results in the Eulerian flamelet model proposed by Pitsch [18]. In the Eulerian system, both velocity vector and scalar dissipation rate are functions of time, space, and the mixture fraction. The difference between these models appears to be the manner in which the fluctuations are taken into account. Because the differences are small, the Lagrangian flamelet model is more employed, because it is easier to implement and represents well the majority applications for diffusion flames. 

A1.7 Transformation of tensors from one set of coordinate axes to another... 

The reason that these approaches appear to be cumbersome is that and Cij, representations chosen for their convenience for calculation and ease of interpretation rather than their underlying mathematical structure, are not components of tensors. In particular, their components do not transform under transformation of coordinate systems as do the components of tensors. Consequently, before components of any physical quantity represented by a tensor of any order can be transformed from one coordinate system to another, the array must be put into its bona fide tensor form. 

As indicated here, in changing coordinates from (x,y,z) to (m,v,w), the original function F assumes a different functional form, G. However, to avoid profusion of symbols and confusion in interpretation, the same symbol is customarily maintained for both functions. This reflects the fact that the physical interpretation of the mathematical formulation remains unaltered by any transformation of coordinate representation. 

The transformation between coordinates must take into account the errors in both coordinates/coordinate sets (in the first and second coordinate system), particularly the systematic errors. A transformation of coordinates thus consists of two distinct components the transformation between the corresponding coordinate systems as described above, plus a model for the difference between the errors in the two coordinate sets. The standard illustration of such a model is the inclusion of the scale factor, which accounts for the difference in linear scales of the two coordinate sets. In practice, when dealing with coordinate sets from more extensive areas such as states or countries, these models are much more elaborate, as they have to model the differences in the deformations caused by errors in the two configurations. These models differ from country to country. For unknown reasons, some people prefer not to distinguish between the two kinds of transformations.
