Hello,
I've been successfully using the D1 operator to do stress-strain problems.
My question is: is the third component of D1: CompZ[ {D1 u}] the
"engineering strain"? That is, is it the sum of the crossed partials,
or the average of the crossed partials:
dv du
-- + ---
dx dy
or:
1 dv du
-- --- + ---
2 dx dy
I ask because I presume this affects the normalization of the C_m
matrix of elastic coefficients.
Thanks very much.
Brian
