Brief remark on material motion dependence

Acceleration-sensitive materials have properties which depend on the motion of the material. This motion refers to an arbitrary chosen standard frame of reference and does not depend on observers, which can be changed without changing the material properties. Consequently, one has properly to distin...

Summary:Acceleration-sensitive materials have properties which depend on the motion of the material. This motion refers to an arbitrary chosen standard frame of reference and does not depend on observers, which can be changed without changing the material properties. Consequently, one has properly to distinguish between changing the observer and changing the motion of the material. This is achieved by extending the domain of the material mapping by a second entry describing the material's motion independently of the chosen observer.
