Mechanics of Continuous Media in $(\bar{L}_n,g)$-Spaces. II. Relative velocity and deformations

Authors

Description

Basic notions of continuous media mechanics are introduced for spaces with affine connections and metrics. The physical interpretation of the notion of relative velocity is discussed. The notions of deformation velocity tensor, shear velocity, rotation (vortex) velocity, and expansion velocity are introduced. Different types of flows are considered.
