Cosserat fluids and the continuum mechanics of turbulence: a generalized Navier–Stokes-α equation with complete boundary conditions
We here develop a continuum-mechanical formulation and generalization of the Navier– Stokes-α equation based on a general framework for fluid-dynamical theories involving gradient dependencies (Fried & Gurtin 2005). That generalization entails two additional material length scales: one of energetic origin, the other of dissipative origin. In contrast to Lagrangian averaging, our formulation del...
متن کاملMechanics of Cosserat media An introduction
The idea of a material body endowed with both translational and rotational degrees of freedom stems from the seminal work of the Cosserat brothers (Cosserat and Cosserat, 1909). A triad of orthonormal directors (d )i=1,3 is associated to the microstructure of each material point. The material transformation describes the displacement u of the material point and the rotation R∼ with respect to t...
متن کاملProgressive Damage Analysis of Laminated Composites using Continuum Damage Mechanics
In this paper, progressive damage and global failure of composite laminates under quasi-static, monotonic loading are investigated using 3D continuum damage mechanics. For this purpose, a finite element program has been developed using an eight-node 2D layered element including layer-wise plate theory. Damage analysis of a single orthotropic layer under various uniform in-plane and transverse l...
متن کاملNonrelativistic and Relativistic Continuum Mechanics
There is described a spacetime formulation of both nonrelativistic and relativistic elasticity. Specific attention is devoted to the causal structure of the theories and the availability of local existence theorems for the initial-value problem. Much of the presented material is based on joint work of B.G.Schmidt and the author (in Class.Quantum Grav.20 (2003), 889-904).
متن کاملQuantum mechanics and the Continuum Problem
In one-dimensional case, it is shown that the basic principles of quantum mechanics are properties of the set of intermediate cardinality. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz, 02.10.Cz The concept of discrete space is not a unique alternative of the continuous space. Since discrete space is a countable set, there is an intermediate possibility connected with the continuum problem: space may be neither conti...
