... our example). Hence, he decided that there is no need to include the summation sign  if there was repeated indices (i), and thus any repeated index is a dummy index and is summed over the range ... the direction cosines. (Since we have an or- thonormal system, those values are nothing else than the cosines of the angles between the nine pairing of base vectors.) 20 Thus, one set of...

... the constitutive law of the material under consideration, the elastic potential energy may be represented either in terms of the elements of the stress tensor, or only in terms of the elements ... forces are therefore equilibrated by the infinitesimal difference between the stresses in the negative and positive facets of the pair. The corresponding expressions are presented late...

Boron fibers were developed to increase ... fibers have relatively large diameter, 10C~200pm. They are extremely brittle and sensitiveto surface damage. Mechanical properties of boron fibers are presented in Table 1.1 and Figs. 1...
