Covariant derivative — In mathematics, the covariant derivative is a way of specifying a derivative along tangent vectors of a manifold. Alternatively, the covariant derivative is a way of introducing and working with a connection on a manifold by means of a… … Wikipedia
Orthotropic material — Wood is an example of an orthotropic material. Material properties in three perpendicular directions (axial, radial, and circumferential) are different. An orthotropic material has two or three mutually orthogonal twofold axes of rotational… … Wikipedia
