Piola transformation
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Piola transformation maps vectors between Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates in continuum mechanics. It is named after Gabrio Piola.
Definition[edit]
Let with an affine transformation. Let with a domain with Lipschitz boundary. The mapping
Note: for a more general definition in the context of tensors and elasticity, as well as a proof of the property that the Piola transform conserves the flux of tensor fields across boundaries, see Ciarlet's book.[2]
