Material deformation and flow


\begin{displaymath}
\rho \dot{v_i} = \frac{\partial \sigma_{ij}}{\partial x_j} ...
...ac{\partial v_i}{\partial x_i}}_{\rm no ~ sum ~ on ~ i}
+ f_i
\end{displaymath}

Notations: $\rho $ materi_density; $v_i$ materi_velocity in $i$-direction; $\sigma_{ij}$ materi_stress matrix; $x$ space coordinate; $\beta $ group_materi_expansion_volume; $T$ (optional) condif_temperature; $g_i$ force_gravity; $d$ group_materi_damping coefficient; $f_i$ force_element_volume. The equation is given for space coordinates following the material velocities $v_i$.

TOCHNOG allows you to build your favorite material, by adding separate contributions to the stresses $\sigma_{ij}$. In this way you can build solids or fluids or things in between. The separate contributions will be listed below. First two typical examples are given.

Nearly incompressible Navier Stokes:


...

Linear solid:


...
