About

Hi, I'm Dr. Simulate 🌐 I make fun videos about the math and physics behind computer simulations, because one animation is worth a thousand pictures. When I’m not being Dr. Simulate, I go by Moritz Flaschel, a research scientist working in computational mechanics. If you're curious about the more serious side of my work, check out my research on Google Scholar. You can support this channel by becoming a member. Thank you for your support! Have fun!

Video Description

This video is part of a series of videos on continuum mechanics (see playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMF9mxKF2mHIiy-roDINLmJz_AVXTber6&si=W5nGEvEWdF5XOoh6 ). The strain tensor is a mathematical construct to quantify the deformation of matter in continuum mechanics. But the formula for the strain tensor looks unintuitive at a first glance. In this video, the (small or infinitesimal) strain tensor is introduced, and its formula is explained. Keywords: continuum mechanics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, partial differential equations, boundary value problems, linear elasticity, small strain elasticity, infinitesimal strain elasticity, kinematics Music: Prelude 2 - VGM Mark H https://soundcloud.com/user-656562764/prelude-2 Abandond Station - VGM Mark H https://soundcloud.com/user-656562764/abandoned-station
