class representing a strain rate tensor
The strain rate tensor is the symmetric part of a velocityGradientTensor. Whatever matrix is passed in, the constructor keeps only that symmetric part.
Syntax
E = strainRateTensor(M)
E = strainRateTensor(L)Input
| M | 3x3 matrix |
| L | velocityGradientTensor |
Output
| E | strainRateTensor |
Class Properties
| M | the tensor coefficients |
| rank | always 2 |
| CS | symmetry the coefficients refer to |
Example
E = strainRateTensor(velocityGradientTensor.uniaxial(vector3d.Z,1))E = strainRateTensor (y↓→x)
rank: 2 (3 x 3)
