1 7 PART : INTRODUCTION TO CONTINUUM MECHANICS In the following sections we develop some applications of tensor calculus in the areas of dynamics, elasticity, fluids and electricity and magnetism. We begin by first developing generalized expressions for the vector operations of gradient, divergence, and curl. Also generalized expressions for other vector operators are considered in order that tensor equations can be converted to vector equations. We construct a table to aid in the translating of generalized tensor equations to vector form and vice versa. The basic equations of continuum mechanics are developed in the later sections. These equations are developed in both Cartesian and generalized tensor form and then converted to vector form.. TENSOR NOTATION FOR SCALAR AND VECTOR QUANTITIES We consider the tensor representation of some vector expressions. Our goal is to develop the ability to convert vector equations to tensor form as well as being able to represent tensor equations in vector form. In this section the basic equations of continuum mechanics are represented using both a vector notation and the indicial notation which focuses attention on the tensor components. In order to move back and forth between these notations, the representation of vector quantities in tensor form is now considered. Gradient For Φ = Φ(x,x,...,x N a scalar function of the coordinates x i,i =,...,N, the gradient of Φ is defined as the covariant vector Φ,i = Φ, xi i =,...,N. (.. The contravariant form of the gradient is g im Φ,m. (.. Note, if C i = g im Φ,m, i =,, 3 are the tensor components of the gradient then in an orthogonal coordinate system we will have C = g Φ,, C = g Φ,, C 3 = g 33 Φ,3. We note that in an orthogonal coordinate system that g ii =/h i, (no sum on i, i =,, 3 and hence replacing the tensor components by their equivalent physical components there results the equations C( = Φ h h x, C( = Φ h h x, C(3 = Φ h 3 h 3 x 3. Simplifying, we find the physical components of the gradient are C( = h Φ x, C( = h Φ x, C(3 = h 3 Φ x 3. These results are only valid when the coordinate system is orthogonal and g ij =0fori j and g ii = h i, with i =,, 3, and where i is not summed.

2 7 Divergence The divergence of a contravariant tensor A r is obtained by taking the covariant derivative with respect to x k and then performing a contraction. This produces div A r = A r,r. (..3 Still another form for the divergence is obtained by simplifying the expression (..3. The covariant derivative can be represented { } A r,k = Ar r x k + A m. mk Upon contracting the indices r and k and using the result from Exercise.4, problem 3, we obtain A r,r = Ar x r + ( g g x m Am A r,r = ( g A r g x r + g Ar x r A r,r = g x r ( ga r. (..4 EXAMPLE.-. (Divergence Find the representation of the divergence of a vector A r in spherical coordinates (ρ,θ,φ. Solution: In spherical coordinates we have x = ρ, x = θ, x 3 = φ with g ij =0 for i j and g = h =, g = h = ρ, g 33 = h 3 = ρ sin θ. The determinant of g ij is g = g ij = ρ 4 sin θ and g = ρ sin θ. Employing the relation (..4 we find div A r = g x ( ga + In terms of the physical components this equation becomes By using the notation x ( ga + ] x 3 ( ga 3. div A r = g ρ ( g A( + h θ ( g A( + h φ ( g A(3 ]. h 3 A( = A ρ, A( = A θ, A(3 = A φ for the physical components, the divergence can be expressed in either of the forms: div A r = ρ sin θ div A r = ρ ρ (ρ sin θa ρ + θ (ρ sin θ A θ ρ + ρ (ρ A ρ + ρ sin θ θ (sin θa θ+ ρ sin θ φ (ρ sin θ A ] φ ρ sin θ A φ φ. or

3 73 Curl The contravariant components of the vector C =curl A are represented C i = ɛ ijk A k,j. (..5 In expanded form this representation becomes: C = ( A3 g x A x 3 C = ( A g x 3 A 3 x C 3 = ( A g x A x. (..6 EXAMPLE.-. (Curl Find the representation for the components of curl A in spherical coordinates (ρ, θ, φ. Solution: In spherical coordinates we have :x = ρ, x = θ, x 3 = φ with g ij =0fori j and g = h =, g = h = ρ, g 33 = h 3 = ρ sin θ. The determinant of g ij is g = g ij = ρ 4 sin θ with g = ρ sin θ. The relations (..6 are tensor equations representing the components of the vector curl A. To find the components of curl A in spherical components we write the equations (..6 in terms of their physical components. These equations take on the form: C( = h g θ (h 3A(3 ] φ (h A( C( = h g φ (h A( ] ρ (h 3A(3 (..7 C(3 = h 3 g ρ (h A( ] θ (h A(. We employ the notations C( = C ρ, C( = C θ, C(3 = C φ, A( = A ρ, A( = A θ, A(3 = A φ to denote the physical components, and find the components of the vector curl A, in spherical coordinates, are expressible in the form: C ρ = ρ sin θ θ (ρ sin θa φ ] φ (ρa θ C θ = ρ sin θ φ (A ρ ] ρ (ρ sin θa φ (..8 C φ = ρ ρ (ρa θ ] θ (A ρ.

(..9,j Expanding this expression produces the equations: U = ( ij U x j g x i U = ( ij U x j g x i U = g g x j U = g x j { } im U j + g x i mj g g + ( ij U g x i ( gg ij U x i x x i ij U + g x i. j gij U ] g x j (..0 In orthogonal coordinates we have g ij =0fori j and g = h, g = h, g 33 = h 3 and so (..0 when expanded reduces to the form U = h h h 3 ( h h 3 U x h x + ( h h 3 U x h x + ( ] h h U x 3 h 3 x 3. (.. This representation is only valid in an orthogonal system of coordinates. EXAMPLE.-3. (Laplacian Find the Laplacian in spherical coordinates.

6 76 EXAMPLE.-4. (Maxwell s equations In the study of electrodynamics there arises the following vectors and scalars: E =Electric force vector, E]=Newton/coulomb B =Magnetic force vector, B]=Weber/m D =Displacement vector, D]=coulomb/m H =Auxilary magnetic force vector, H]=ampere/m J =Free current density, J]=ampere/m ϱ =free charge density, ϱ] =coulomb/m 3 The above quantities arise in the representation of the following laws: Faraday s Law This law states the line integral of the electromagnetic force around a loop is proportional to the rate of flux of magnetic induction through the loop. This gives rise to the first electromagnetic field equation: E = B or ɛ ijk E k,j = Bi. (..5 Ampere s Law This law states the line integral of the magnetic force vector around a closed loop is proportional to the sum of the current through the loop and the rate of flux of the displacement vector through the loop. This produces the second electromagnetic field equation: H = J + D Gauss s Law for Electricity or ɛ ijk H k,j = J i + Di. (..6 This law states that the flux of the electric force vector through a closed surface is proportional to the total charge enclosed by the surface. This results in the third electromagnetic field equation: D ( = ϱ or gd i g x i = ϱ. (..7 Gauss s Law for Magnetism This law states the magnetic flux through any closed volume is zero. This produces the fourth electromagnetic field equation: B =0 or ( gb i g x i =0. (..8 The four electromagnetic field equations are referred to as Maxwell s equations. These equations arise in the study of electrodynamics and can be represented in other forms. These other forms will depend upon such things as the material assumptions and units of measurements used. Note that the tensor equations (..5 through (..8 are representations of Maxwell s equations in a form which is independent of the coordinate system chosen. In applications, the tensor quantities must be expressed in terms of their physical components. In a general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system we will have g = h, g = h, g 33 = h 3, and g ij =0 for i j. This produces the result g = h h h 3. Further, if we represent the physical components of D i,b i,e i,h i by D(i,B(i,E(i, and H(i

7 77 the Maxwell equations can be represented by the equations in table. The tables 3, 4 and 5 are the representation of Maxwell s equations in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of Symmetric Tensors Consider the equation T ij A j = λa i, i,j =,, 3, (..9 where T ij = T ji is symmetric, A i are the components of a vector and λ is a scalar. Any nonzero solution A i of equation (..9 is called an eigenvector of the tensor T ij and the associated scalar λ is called an eigenvalue. When expanded these equations have the form (T λa + T A + T 3 A 3 =0 T A +(T λa + T 3 A 3 =0 T 3 A + T 3 A +(T 33 λa 3 =0. The condition for equation (..9 to have a nonzero solution A i is that the characteristic equation should be zero. This equation is found from the determinant equation T λ T T 3 f(λ = T T λ T 3 =0, (..0 T 3 T 3 T 33 λ

10 80 which when expanded is a cubic equation of the form f(λ = λ 3 + I λ I λ + I 3 =0, (.. where I,I and I 3 are invariants defined by the relations I = T ii I = T iit jj T ijt ij (.. I 3 = e ijk T i T j T k3. When T ij is subjected to an orthogonal transformation, where T mn = T ij l im l jn,then l im l jn (T mn λδ mn = T ij λδ ij and det (T mn λδ mn =det ( Tij λδ ij. Hence, the eigenvalues of a second order tensor remain invariant under an orthogonal transformation. If T ij is real and symmetric then the eigenvalues of T ij will be real, and the eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues will be orthogonal. Proof: To show a quantity is real we show that the conjugate of the quantity equals the given quantity. If (..9 is satisfied, we multiply by the conjugate A i and obtain A i T ij A j = λa i A i. (..5 The right hand side of this equation has the inner product A i A i which is real. It remains to show the left hand side of equation (..5 is also real. Consider the conjugate of this left hand side and write A i T ij A j = A i T ij A j = A i T ji A j = A i T ij A j. Consequently, the left hand side of equation (..5 is real and the eigenvalue λ can be represented as the ratio of two real quantities. Assume that λ ( and λ ( are two distinct eigenvalues which produce the unit eigenvectors ˆL and ˆL with components l i and l i,i=,, 3 respectively. We then have T ij l j = λ ( l i and T ij l j = λ ( l i. (..6 Consider the products λ ( l i l i = T ij l j l i, λ ( l i l i = l i T ij l j = l j T ji l i. and subtract these equations. We find that (..7 λ ( λ ( ]l i l i =0. (..8 By hypothesis, λ ( is different from λ ( and consequently the inner product l i l i must be zero. Therefore, the eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are orthogonal.

11 8 Therefore, associated with distinct eigenvalues λ (i,i=,, 3 there are unit eigenvectors ˆL (i = l i ê + l i ê + l i3 ê 3 with components l im,m=,, 3 which are direction cosines and satisfy l in l im = δ mn and l ij l jm = δ im. (..3 The unit eigenvectors satisfy the relations T ij l j = λ ( l i T ij l j = λ ( l i T ij l j3 = λ (3 l i3 and can be written as the single equation T ij l jm = λ (m l im, m =,, or3 m not summed. Consider the transformation x i = l ij x j or x m = l mj x j which represents a rotation of axes, where l ij are the direction cosines from the eigenvectors of T ij. This is a linear transformation where the l ij satisfy equation (..3. Such a transformation is called an orthogonal transformation. In the new x coordinate system, called principal axes, we have T mn = T ij x i x m x j x n = T ijl im l jn = λ (n l in l im = λ (n δ mn (no sum on n. (..4 This equation shows that in the barred coordinate system there are the components ( T mn = λ ( λ ( λ (3 That is, along the principal axes the tensor components T ij are transformed to the components T ij where T ij =0fori j. The elements T (i(i, i not summed, represent the eigenvalues of the transformation (..9.
