On Physical Components of Tensors in Elasticity and Inelasticity
Widely used in mechanics and mathematical physics, physical components remove the inherent coordinate-dependent scaling in curvilinear coordinates, yielding components of consistent physical dimension. In orthogonal coordinates, they are constructed by normalizing the coordinate frame and coframe; in general coordinate...
