Basics of vector calculus
(a) Symbols, summation convention, Kronecker

Single- or multiple subscripts ui u1, u2 , u3 , ... ui vk u1 v1 , u1 v2 , u1 v3 , ... u2 v1 , u2 v2 , ... ... tik t11 , t12 , ... ... Summation convention of Einstein Denition: Whenever the same subscript occurs twice in a term, a summation over that double subscript has to be carried out.
Example: uj vj = u1 v1 , + u2 v2 , + ... + un vn ,

uj vj
Kronecker symbol Denition: It exists a symbol ik with the following properties 0 if i = k ik = 1 if i = k ui ik = u1 1k + u2 2k + ... + u1 11 = u1 12 = u1 1k = u = 1 1n ui ik = uk un nk u1 0 0
Example:

If the Kronecker symbol is multiplied with another quantity and if there is a double subscript in this term, the Kronecker symbol disappears, the double subscript can be dropped and the free subscript remains. Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II
Rem.: Subscripts occuring two times in a term can be renamed arbitrarily.
(b) Terms and definitions of vector algebra

Rem.: The following statements are related to the standard three-dimensional (3-d) physical space, i. e. the Euclidean vector space V 3 . Generally, SPACE is a mathematical concept of a set and does not directly refer to the 3-d point space E 3 and the 3-d vector space V 3 .
A: Vector addition
Requirement: {u, v, w, ...} V 3 The following relations hold: u+v = v+u : commutative law
u + (v + w) = (u + v) + w : associative law u+0 = u u + (u) = 0 : 0 : identity element of vector addition : u : inverse element of vector addition
Examples to the commutative and the associative law: u+v u v v u v+u u+v u v v+w w
u+v+w
B: Multiplication of a vector with a scalar quantity Requirement: {u, v, w, ...} V 3 ; {, , ...} R 1v = v ( v) = ( ) v ( + ) v = v + v : 1: identity element : associative law : distributive law (addition of scalars)
(v + w) = v + w : distributive law (addition of vectors) v = v : commutative law
Rem.: In the general vector calculus, the denitions A and B constitute the ane vector space. Linear dependency of vectors Rem.: In V 3 , 3 non-coplanar vectors are linearly independent; i. e. each further vector can be expressed as an multiple of these vectors. Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II
Theorem:
The vectors vi (i = 1, 2, 3, ..., n) are linearly dependent, if real numbers i exist which are not all equal to zero, such that i vi = 0 or 1 v1 + 2 v2 + ... + n vn = 0
Example (plane case): v2 v3 v1 1 v 1 2 v 2 3 v 3 v1 + v 2 + v 3 = 0 but: 1 v1 + 2 v2 + 3 v3 = 0 {v1 , v2 , v3 }: linearly dependent {v1 , v2 }: linearly independent
Rem.: The i can be multiplied by any factor . Basis vectors in V 3 then : {v1 , v2 , v3 , v} : linearly dependent Thus, it follows that 1 v 1 + 2 v 2 + 3 v 3 + v = 0 v = i vi i or v = vi =: i vi i : coecients (of the vector components) i = with vi : basis vectors of v Choice of a specic basis Rem.: In V 3 , each system of 3 linearly independent vectors can be selected as a basis; e. g. vi : ei : general basis specic, orthonormal basis (Cartesian, right-handed) v3 v1 v v2 e1 Basissystem vi Basissystem ei e3 e2 v ex. : {v1 , v2 , v3 } : linearly independent

(u v) = u ( v) = ( u) v : associative law
Rem.: The denitions A, B and C constitute the Euclidean vector space. If instead of u u = 0 especially holds, then A, B and C dene the proper Euclidean vector space V 3 (physical space). Square and norm of a vector v2 := v v , v = |v| = v2 u u > 0 , if u = 0,
Rem.: The norm is the value or the positive square root of the vector. Angle between two vectors

Rem.: The parallelepidial product yields the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by u, v and w. Remark: The preceding and the following relations are valid with respect to an arbitrary basis system. For simplicity, the following material is restricted to the orthonormal basis, whenever a basis notation occurs. Concerning a more general basis representation, cf., e. g., de Boer, R.: Vektor- und Tensorrechnung f r Ingenieure. Springer-Verlag, Berlin 1982. u
Fundamentals of tensor calculus
Rem.: The following statements are related to the proper Euklidian vector space V 3 and the corresponding dyadic product space V 3 V 3 V 3 (n times) of n-th order.
2.1
Introduction of the tensor concept
(a) Tensor concept and linear mapping

Denition: A 2nd order (2nd rank) tensor T is a linear mapping which transforms a vector u uniquely in a vector w: w = Tu 3 3 3 u, w V ; T L(V , V ) therein: L(V 3 , V 3 ) : set of all 2nd order tensors or linear mappings of vectors, respectively
(b) Tensor concept and dyadic product space

Denition: There is a simple tensor (a b) with the property (a b) c =: (b c) a a b V 3 V 3 (dyadic product space)
therein:
: dyadic product (binary operator of V 3 V 3 ) V 3 V 3 L(V 3 , V 3 )
It follows directly that a b L(V 3 , V 3 )
Rem.: (a b) maps a vector c onto a vector d = (b c) a . Basis notation of a simple tensor: A := a b = (ai ei ) (bk ek ) = ai bk (ei ek ) with ai bk : coecients of the tensor components ei ek : tensor basis
Tensors A V 3 V 3 have 9 independent components (and directions); e. g. a1 b3 (e1 e3 ) etc.

2.2
Basic rules of tensor algebra
Requirement: {A, B, C, ...} V 3 V 3 .
(a) Tensor addition

A+B = B+A : commutative law
A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C : associative law A+0 = A A + (A) = 0 : 0 : identical element : inverse element
: A
Tensor addition with respect to an orthonormal tensor basis: A = aik (ei ek ), B = bik (ei ek )
C = A + B = (aik + bik )(ei ek ) cik Rem.: A tensor addition carried out as an addition of the tensor coecients requires that both tensors have the same tensor basis.
(b) Multiplication of tensors by a scalar

1A = A ( A) = ( ) A : 1 : identical element : associative law
( + ) A = A + A : distributive law (with respect to the addition of scalars) (A + B) = A + B : distributive law (with respect to the addition of tensors) A = A : commutative law
(c) Linear mapping between tensor and vector

The following denitions make use of the linear mapping (cf. 2.1) w = Tu Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II
11
Rem.: In the literature, the multiplication of a vector by a tensor is also called contraction. The following relations hold: A (u + v) = A u + A v : distributive law A ( u) = (A u) : associative law
(A + B) u = A u + B u : distributive law ( A) u = (A u) 0u = 0 Iu = u : associative law : 0 : zero element of the linear mapping : I : identity element of the linear mapping
Linear mapping in basis notation: A = aik (ei ek ) , One obtains u = ui ei
A u = (aik ei ek ) (uj ej ) = aik uj (ei ek ) ej mit i : free index (basis index k : silent index (double index of wi ) e3 u e2 Au
w = A u = aik uj kj ei = aik uk ei wi
Rem.: In general, a linear mapping A causes both a rotation and a stretch of a vector u. Identity tensor I V 3 V 3 : I = ik ei ek = ei ei Proof of the dening property:
0 e1
u = I u = (ei ei ) uj ej = uj (ei ei ) ej = uj ij ei = ui ei
q. e. d.
Rem.: Tensors built from basis vectors are called fundamental tensors, i. e. I V 3 V 3 is the fundamental tensor of 2nd order.
(d) Scalar product of tensors (inner product)

The following relations hold: AB = BA A (B + C) = A B + A C ( A) B = A ( B) = (A B) A B = 0 A , if B 0 A A > 0 for A = 0 Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II : commutative law : distributive law : associative law
12
Scalar product of A with a simple tensor a b V 3 V 3 : A (a b) = a A b Scalar product of A and B in basis notation: A = aik (ei ek ), B = bik (ei ek ) One obtains = A B = aik (ei ek ) bst (es et ) = aik bst (ei ek ) (es et ) = aik bst is kt = aik bik Rem.: The result of the scalar product is a scalar.
(e) Tensor product of tensors

Denition: The tensor product of tensors yields (AB) v = A (B v) Rem.: With this denition, the tensor product of tensors is directly linked to the linear mapping (cf. 2.1 (a)). The following relations hold: (A B) C = A (B C) A (B + C) = A B + A C (A + B) C = A C + B C : associative law : distributive law : distributive law
(A B) = ( A) B = A ( B) : associative law IT = TI = T 0T = T0 = 0 : I : identity element : 0 : zero element
Rem.: In general, the commutative law is not valid, i. e. A B = B A. Tensor product of simple tensors: A= ab, It follows with the above denition (A B) v = A (B v) [ (a b) (c d) ] v = (a b) [ (c d) v ] = (a b) (d v) c = (b c) (d v) a = [ (b c) (a d) ] v Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II B=cd
Supplement to the COMMAS Core Course I on Continuum Mechanics Consequence: (a b) (c d) = (b c) a d Tensor product in basis notation: A B = aik (ei ek ) bst (es et ) = aik bst (ei ek ) (es et ) = aik bst ks (ei et ) = aik bkt (ei et ) Rem.: The result of a tensor product is a tensor.

2.3
Specic tensors and operations
(a) Transposed tensor

Denition: The transposed tensor AT belonging to A exhibits the property w (A u) = (AT w) u The following relations hold: (A + B)T = AT + BT ( A)T = AT (A B)T = BT AT
Transposition of a simple tensor a b: It follows with the above denition w (a b) u = w (b u) a = (w a) (b u) = (b a) w u (a b)T Transposed tensor in basis notation: A = aik (ei ek ) = aki (ei ek ) : renaming the indices Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II = ba
AT = aik (ek ei )
14
Note:
The transposition of a tensor A V 3 V 3 can be carried out by an exchange of the tensor basis or by an exchange of the subscripts of the tensor coecients.
(b) Symmetric and skew-symmetric tensor

Denition: A tensor A V 3 V 3 is symmetric, if A = AT and skew-symmetric (antimetric), if A = AT Symmetric and skew-symmetric parts of an arbitrary tensor A V 3 V 3 : sym A = skw A =
1 2 1 2
(A + AT ) (A AT )
A = sym A + skw A Properties of symmetric and skew-symmetric tensors: w (sym A) v = (sym A) w v v (skw A) v = (skw A) v v = 0 Positive denite symmetric tensors: sym A is positive denite, if sym A is positive semi-denite, if sym A (v v) = v (sym A) v > 0 sym A (v v) = v (sym A) v 0
(c) Inverse tensor

Denition: If A1 inverse to A exists, it exhibits the property v = Aw The following relations hold: A A1 = A1 A = I (A1 )T = (AT )1 =: AT 1 (A B)1 = B1 A1 Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II w = A1 v
15
Rem.: The computation of the inverse tensor in basis notation is carried out by introducing the double cross product (outer tensor product of tensors), cf. 2.8.
(d) Orthogonal tensor

Denition: An orthogonal tensor Q V 3 V 3 exhibits the property Q1 = QT Additionally Q QT = I
(det Q)2 = 1 : orthogonality det Q = 1 : proper orthogonality
Rem.: The computation of the determinant of 2nd order tensors is dened with the aid of the double cross product, cf. 2.8. Properties of orthogonal tensors: Q v Q w = QT Q v w = v w Rem.: Linear mapping with Q preserves the norm of the respective vector. Illustration: u in general: linear mapping with A V 3 V 3 causes a rotation and a stretch Au in special: linear mapping with Q V 3 V 3 causes only a rotation Q u Q u = u u

(e) Trace of a tensor

Denition: The trace tr A of a tensor A V 3 V 3 is the scalar product tr A = A I The following relations hold: tr ( A) = tr A tr (a b) = a b tr AT = tr A tr (A B) = tr (BA) (A B) I = B AT = BT A
tr (A B C) = tr (B C A) = tr (C A B)

Development of the transformation tensor: The following relations hold: ei = I ei Thus, using ei = ik ek leads to ei = (ej ik ek ) ej = (ej ek ) (ei ek ) ej ei = (ej ek ) (ej ek )ei =: R ei

and I = ej ej

ei = (ej ej ) ei = (ej ei ) ej
one obtains
with R = (ej ek ) ej ek
Rem.: R is the transformation tensor which transforms the basis vectors ei into the basis vectors ei . Coecient matrix Rjk : Rjk = ej ek = |ej | |ek | cos < (ej ; ek ) = cos jk )

with |ej | = |ek | = 1
Rem.: Rjk contains the 9 cosines of the angles between the directions of the basis vectors ej and ek . Institute of Applied Mechanics, Chair II
Supplement to the COMMAS Core Course I on Continuum Mechanics Orthogonality of the transformation tensor:
17
Rem.: By R, the basis vectors ei are only rotated towards ei , thus, R is an orthogonal tensor. Orthogonality condition:
!
R RT = I = Rjk (ej ek ) Rpn (en ep ) = Rjk Rpn kn ej ep = Rjk Rpk (ej ep ) It follows with I = jp (ej ep ) by comparison of coecients Rjk Rpk = jp ()
Rem.: () contains 6 constraints for the 9 cosines (R RT = sym (R RT )), i. e. only 3 of 9 trigonometrical functions are independent. Thus, the rotation of the basis system is dened by 3 angles.
(B) Introduction of CARDANO angles

Idea: Rotation around 3 axes which are given by the basis directions ei . This procedure was rstly investigated by Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576). Procedure: The rotation of the basis system is carried out by 3 independent rotations around the axes e1 , e2 , e3 . Each rotation is expressed by a transformation tensor Ri (i = 1, 2, 3). Rotation of ei around e3 , e2 , e1 : ei = {R1 [R2 (R3 ei )]} = R ei Rotation of ei around e1 , e2 , e3 : i = {R3 [R2 (R1 ei )]} = R ei e Obviously, R=R

with R = R1 R2 R3
with R = R3 R2 R1
e = i e

ei = R3 ei = R3jk (ej ek ) ei = R3jk ki ej = R3ji ej Thus, by comparison of coecients R3 = R3ji (ej ei ) with R3ji (b) Rotation around the e2 - and e1 -axis Analogously, R2 = R2ji (ej ei ) with R2ji cos 2 0 sin 2 0 1 0 = sin 2 0 cos 2 cos 3 sin 3 0 = sin 3 cos 3 0 0 0 1

Rem.: The rotation tensor R can be composed of single rotations under consideration of the rotation sequence. (c) Denition of the total rotation R (c1 ) it follows from rotation of ei around e3 , e2 , e1 that
R R = R1 R2 R3 = R1ij (ei ej ) R2no (en eo ) R3pq (ep eq ) = R1ij R2no R3pq jn op (ei eq ) = R1ij R2jo R3oq (ei eq )

sin 2 sin 1 cos 2 cos 1 cos 2
cos 1 sin 2 cos 3 + sin 1 sin 3
(c2 ) it follows from rotation of ei around e1 , e2 , e3 that R R = R3 R2 R1 = R3ij R2jo R1oq (ei eq ) Riq

Orthogonality of Cardano rotation tensors: For all R {R1 , R2 , R3 , R, R}, the following relations hold R1 = RT , i. e. R RT = I and (det R)2 = 1 Furthermore, all rotation tensors hold the following relation det R = 1 : proper orthogonality orthogonality
Rem.: A basis transformation with non-proper orthogonal transformations (det R = 1) transforms a right-handed into a left-handed basis system. Example: here: Investigation of the orthogonality properties of R3 cos 3 sin 3 with R3ij = sin 3 cos 3 0 0 R3 RT = R3ij (ei ej ) R3on (en eo ) 3 = R3ij R3on jn (ei eo ) = R3in R3on (ei eo ) where R3in R3on and one obtains Furthermore, sin2 3 + cos2 3 0 0 0 sin2 3 + cos2 3 0 = io = 0 0 1 R3 RT = io (ei eo ) = I q. e. d. 3 det R3 := det (R3ij ) = 1 R3 is proper orthogonal = R3ij (ei ej ) 0 0 1

i = R ei e

Consequence: By comparing both relations, it follows that

T R = R , i. e., Rik ei ek = (Rik )T i k e e
with R = Rik ei ek
Rik = Rki
In particular,
R = Rik (ei ek ) = Rik (R ei R ek ) ! = Rik Rni en Rpk ep = (Rni Rik Rpk ) en ep = Rpn en ep = RT
! Rni Rik Rpk = Rpn
Rni Rik = nk
Rem.: The coecient matrices Rni and Rik are inverse to each other, i. e., in general, Rni Rik = nk implies 6 equations for the 9 unknown coecients Rik . Due to 1 T 1 R = R , one has Rni = (Rni )T = Rin , i. e. Rik = (Rik )T = Rki

Thus, the rotation tensor R is given by cos sin 0 R = sin cos cos cos sin ei ek sin sin cos sin cos Rem.: Concerning Cardano angles, all partial rotations (e. g. R = R3 R2 R1 with ei = R ei ) are carried out with respect to the same basis ei , i. e. the combination of the partial rotations is much easier.

Transformations between actual and reference congurations
Given are the deformation gradient F = x/X and arbitrary vectorial and tensorial eld functions v and A. Then, with Grad ( ) = ( ) X reference conguration Div ( ) = [Grad ( )] I or [Grad ( )] I actual conguration grad ( ) div ( ) = () x = [grad ( )] I or [grad ( )] I
the following relations hold:
Grad v = (grad v) F grad v Div v div v = (Grad v) F1 = (grad v) FT
Grad A = [(grad A) F]3 grad A = [(Grad A) F1 ]3 Div A = (grad A) FT div A = (Grad A) FT 1

Furthermore, it can be shown that Div FT 1 = FT 1 (FT 1 Grad F)1 = (det F)1 FT 1 [Grad (det F)] = FT (FT grad F1 )1 = (det F) FT [grad (det F)1 ]
