Caveats on formulating finite elasto-plasticity in curvilinear coordinates
Giuliano Pretti, Robert E. Bird, William M. Coombs +1
Tensor analysis provides a frame-invariant foundation for continuum mechanics, yet numerical implementations rely on matrix representations expressed in user-selected bases. When t…
