4 Concept of Tensor A TENSOR is an algebraic entity with various components which generalizes the concepts of scalar, vector and matrix. Many physical quantities are mathematically represented as tensors. Tensors are independent of any reference system but, by need, are commonly represented in one by means of their component matrices. The components of a tensor will depend on the reference system chosen and will vary with it. 4

5 Order of a Tensor The order of a tensor is given by the number of indexes needed to specify without ambiguity a component of a tensor. a a, a A, A A, A A, A Scalar: zero dimension Vector: 1 dimension 2 nd order: 2 dimensions 3 rd order: 3 dimensions 4 th order v i E ij

17 Repeated-index (or Einstein s) Notation The Einstein Summation Convention: repeated Roman indices are summed over. 3 ab ab ab a b ab i is a mute index i is a talking index and j is a mute index A MUTE (or DUMMY) INDEX is an index that does not appear in a monomial after the summation is carried out (it can be arbitrarily changed of name ). A TALKING INDEX is an index that is not repeated in the same monomial and is transmitted outside of it (it cannot be arbitrarily changed of name ). i i i i i A b A b A b A b A b ij j ij j i1 1 i2 2 i3 3 j1 REMARK An index can only appear up to two times in a monomial. 17

18 Repeated-index (or Einstein s) Notation Rules of this notation: 1. Sum over all repeated indices. 2. Increment all unique indices fully at least once, covering all combinations. 3. Increment repeated indices first. 4. A comma indicates differentiation, with respect to coordinate x i. 3 2 ui u 3 2 i ui u A 3 i ij uii, ui, jj 2 x i1 x Aij, j x x x x i i j j j1 j j j1 x 5.

20 Levi-Civita Epsilon (permutation) ϵ The Levi-Civita epsilon e ijk is defined as: e ijk 0 if there is a repeated index 1 if ijk 123, 231or if ijk 213, 132 or indices e ijk e ikj 27 possible combinations. REMARK The Levi-Civita symbol is also named permutation or alternating symbol. 20

63 Differential Operators Tensor Algebra 63

64 Differential Operators A differential operator is a mapping that transforms a field vx, Ax... into another field by means of partial derivatives. The mapping is typically understood to be linear. Examples: Nabla operator Gradient Divergence Rotation 64

65 Nabla Operator The Nabla operator is a differential operator symbolically defined as: symbolic symb. ˆ x e In Cartesian coordinates, it can be used as a (symbolic) vector on its own: x1 symb. x2 x3 x i i 65

66 Gradient 66 The gradient (or open product of Nabla) is a differential operator defined as: Gradient of a scalar field Φ(x): Yields a vector symb. {1, 2,3} i i i i xi xi eˆ ˆ i i ei xi Gradient of a vector field v(x): x i Yields a 2 nd order tensor symb. v j v v v j i, j{1,2,3} ij i j xi xi v j v v e j ˆ i e ˆ v v v eˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ij i ej ei ej x x i i e ˆi j

67 Gradient Gradient of a 2 nd order tensor field A(x): Yields a 3 rd order tensor symb. A jk A A A A jk i, j, k{1, 2,3} ijk ijk i jk xi xi A jk A A A eˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ijk i ej ek ei ej ek xi A jk A e ˆ e ˆ e ˆ x i i j k 67

68 Divergence The divergence (or dot product of Nabla) is a differential operator defined as : Divergence of a vector field v(x): Yields a scalar v Divergence of a 2 nd order tensor A(x): Yields a vector i symb. vi v i i xi xi v symb. Aij ij xi xi v Aj A A j {1, 2,3} i ij A ij A A eˆ ˆ j j ej xi A v i x i Aij e ˆ x i j 68

69 Divergence The divergence can only be performed on tensors of order 1 or higher. If v 0, the vector field v x is said to be solenoid (or divergence-free). 69

70 Rotation 70 The rotation or curl (or vector product of Nabla) is a differential operator defined as: Rotation of a vector field v(x): Yields a vector symb. symb. v k v i eijk v v {1, 2,3} j k eijk k eijk i xj xj v v v k eˆ eˆ v i i eijk i x j Rotation of a 2 nd order tensor A(x): Yields a 2 nd order tensor e ijk vk e ˆ symb kl A il e A ijk kl eijk i, j, k {1, 2, 3} xj xj Akl A Ae e ˆ e ˆ A A kl il eˆ eˆ eˆ eˆ i l eijk i l x j.

71 Rotation The rotation can only be performed on tensors of order 1 or higher. If v 0, the vector field v x is said to be irrotational (or curl-free). 71
