Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
We study an arbitrary deformation of a configuration of a body and show that this deformation may be reduced to a sequence of two special deformations: the rotation and stretching. The kinematics of a deformation is also considered. We introduce a notion of a vorticity vector and discuss its relationship with the antisymmetric part of the velocity gradient.
Keywords:
Deformation, Deformation gradient, Deformation rate tensor, Kinematics of a deformation, Polar decomposition theorem, Rotation tensor, Stretching tensor, Velocity gradient, Vorticity vector.
