Center of mass rigid body, the gravity forces will not cause the body to rotate, which means the weight of the body can be considered to be concentrated at the center of mass. The linear and angular momentum of a collection of particles can be simplified by measuring the position and velocity of the particles relative to the center of mass. Let the system of particles "P", "i"=1...,"n" of masses "m" be located at the coordinates r with velocities v. Select a reference point R and compute the relative position and velocity vectors, The total linear and angular momentum vectors relative to the
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
