The method of virtual power in the mechanics of continuous media, I: Second-gradient theory
P. Germain
Abstract
Note, as a matter of detail, that on taking the skew-symmetric part of the tensor product x T , a factor of 1 2 is introduced, thus explaining the lack of it later in the second equation ( -(TN) * As indicated later, an underlined subscript nullifies the summation convention with respect to that subscript. -(TN)
