Talk:Lamé parameters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Elastic moduli template is not working properly. Its missing the introduction telling about possibility of choosing only two parameters. It is there (click view on the top right of the table), the linking just is not working. I don't know how to fix it. Dv3 20:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

The template has some extra text when you are viewing only the templated, that is not intended to be included when the template is transcluded into other pages. It is not common as far as I have seen to have much text in these templates, so I did not include it. But it should at least be explained in full detail in the Elastic moduli page. I encourage you to continue the discussion on the template's talk page: Template_talk:Elastic moduli --Berland 20:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Um, lame parameters are μ and λ of the hooke's equation of the form

\sigma=2\mu \varepsilon +\lambda tr(\varepsilon)I

I think the above is enough about hooke's law on this page. It states that the material obeying hooke's law needs _only two_ parameters (e.g. lame parameters) even if the other components are tensors. After saying this I am changing the equation back to the one above.Dv3 19:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

All my references say e grave, not e acute. who is right? Greglocock 12:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I am quite sure Lamé (acute e) is correct. The biographical article on Gabriel Lamé is authoritative for this article. --Berland 09:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
