Parallel Axis

Consider the inertia tensor Ix defined by Ixxx1xxdα The transformed tensor Ix+ρ corresponding to a translation by ρ is obtained by replacing x with x+ρ, furnishing Ix+ρ=Ix+2Aρρ¯1A(ρ¯ρ+ρρ¯)+A(ρρ1ρρ) where the centroid ρ¯ and area A are defined as

Energy

One says that balance of energy holds if, for every nice open set UB, d dtφt(U)ρ(e+12v,v)dv=φt(U)ρ(b,v+r)dv+φl(U)(t,v+h)da, where e=e(x,t),r=r(x,t) and h=h(x,n^,t) are internal energy per unit mass, heat supply per unit mass and heat flux, respectively. Balance of energy. For an elastic material one assumes that there exists a strain energy function e per unit mass whose change represents the change in the internal energy due to mechanical deformations.

Monosymmetry constants

This note develops some of the theory supporting the ShearFiber finite element section model in OpenSees. We look to motivate the definition of the monosymmetry constant βz. When higher order kinematic terms are incorporated in the formulation of a cross section, an additional term Twag contributes to the resultant torque T: Twagϑσr~2dα where r~2(yρ~y)2+(zρ~z)2 and σ=E[1zyφ](εθyθzϑ) so that
