From this vantage point the theory is extended to non-uniform bodies by introducing the notion of singular material distributions and the physically cognate idea of graded uniformity and homogeneity.enAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaterial geometryartículo
