Proper velocity the traveling object. It equals the object's momentum p divided by its rest mass "m", and is made up of the space-like components of the object's four-vector velocity. William Shurcliff's monograph mentioned its early use in the Sears and Brehme text. Fraundorf has explored its pedagogical value while Ungar, Baylis and Hestenes have examined its relevance from group theory and geometric algebra perspectives. Proper velocity is sometimes referred to as celerity. Unlike the more familiar coordinate velocity v, proper velocity is synchrony-free (does not require synchronized clocks) and is useful for describing both super-relativistic and sub-relativistic motion. Like coordinate velocity
Linear elasticity fourth-order stiffness tensor, formula_8 is the body force per unit volume, formula_9 is the mass density, formula_10 represents the nabla operator, formula_11 represents a transpose, formula_12 represents the second derivative with respect to time, and formula_13 is the inner product of two second-order tensors (summation over repeated indices is implied). Expressed in terms of components with respect to a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, the governing equations of linear elasticity are: An elastostatic boundary value problem for an isotropic-homogeneous media is a system of 15 independent equations and equal number of unknowns (3 equilibrium equations, 6 strain-displacement equations, and 6 constitutive
