2 Outline Scalar, Vector and Matrix( 标量 矢量 矩阵 ) Indicial Notation and Summation Convention( 指标记法与求和约定 ) Kronecker Delta( 克罗内克 δ) Levi-Civita symbol( 轮换记号 ) Coordinate Transformation( 坐标变换 ) Tensor( 张量 ) Principal Values and Directions( 特征值与特征向量 ) Tensor Algebra( 张量代数 ) Tensor Calculus( 张量微分 ) Integral Theorems( 积分定理 ) Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates( 柱与球坐标 )

3 Scalar Scalar: representing a single magnitude at each point in space Examples: Material density Young s modulus Poisson s ratio Shear modulus Temperature 3

4 Vector Vector: representing physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction Examples: Force Displacement of material points Rotation of material points 4

5 Matrix (Array) Matrix: a rectangular array of numbers Array: a data structure in which similar elements of data are arranged in a table 5

6 Indicial Notation Orthogonal unit vectors: Vector decomposition: a OP a i i a j j a k k i1 a e a e a e a e i i j k i e 1 =i x =x 1 O z =x 3 Indicial notation: a shorthand scheme whereby a whole set of components is represented by a single symbol with subscripts k=e 3 a j=e x1 e1 a1 a11 a1 a13 xi x, ei e, ai a, aij a1 a a 3 x e a a a a P y=x 6

7 Indicial Notation Addition and subtraction Scalar multiplication Outer multiplication 7

9 Summation Convention Summation convention: if a subscript appears twice in the same term, then summation over that subscript from one to three is implied a x x 3 3 a x x ij i j ij i j i1 j1 a a a ii jj kk In a single term, no index can appear more than twice. Dummy (repeated) indices vs. free (distinct) indices Among terms, index property must match. 9
