Extract

The use of a coordinate system convected with the moving medium for describing its mechanics, first proposed by Hencky (5), has since been extended by several authors, and has several advantages over the more conventional use of a coordinate system fixed in space; Brillouin(1) has shown that the relation between the strain-energy function for an ideally elastic solid and the stress tensor takes a very simple form when the latter is referred to a convected coordinate system; Oldroyd(8) has given a very general discussion of the formulation of rheological equations of state and has shown that the right invariance properties are most readily recognized when the equations are referred to a convected coordinate system; Green and Zerna (4) have similarly expressed the equations of motion and boundary conditions; and Gleyzal (2), and Green and Shield (3) have applied the formalism to certain problems in elasticity theory.
