This notation has found which are not as readily available to the uninitiated, results in a saving of space, and serves as an aid in nonnumerical computations. The present its exercises, is designed to familiarize the reader with this notation. In addition, the present chapter contains the elements of the theory of Cartesian tensors and a brief review and summary of those aspects of vector algebra, vector analysis, and curvilinear coordinates which will be found useful in subsequent chapters. 1.1 THE SUMMATION CONVENTION We are often confronted by a system of three linear equations in three unknowns, such that AxtByt Coma Dx+ Byt Fe=b (ta) Gxt Hythe where x,y,z are the unknowns, and 4,B,...,2,0,..., are known constants.

The employment of scalars and vectors to represent entities is well established. For example, Newton's first and second laws of motion for a particle are characterized by the equation F= ma, In this equation m char- acterizes the mass of the particle, and it is a scalar. The force acting on the particle and its acceleration are vector quantities denoted by the symbols F and a, respectively. In the following text we use a boldface letter to symbolize a vector quantity. Once a system of units has been selected, the information required to specify the magnitude of a scalar or vector is provided by a single real sumber. However, in order to specify the direction of a vector, we need a reference that is readily provided by a coordinate system. For the present, we find it expedient to consider only réctangular Cartesian coordinate systems, and these are referred to by the abbreviation RCS. ‘A typical RCS is shown in Fig. 1.1. In ordet to achieve some economy in the use of symbols, and to enhance the possibility for the employment of the notations developed in Sections 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, we label the coordinate axes 1o%q%5 rather than the usual x,y,z. Unit vectors along the x,,x,,x, axes-are called base vectors and are characterized by e,, ¢,, and e;, respectively. Their common point of intersection © is the origin of the RCS. We shall restrict all considerations to right-handed coordinate systems. With reference to Fig. 1 €, closed curve through the end points P,,P,, P, of the base respectively.

We will now derive an expression for grado when $—4(x,y,2) is referred to a RCS. With reference to Fig. 1.5, let us consider an element of volume in the shape of a rectangular parallelopiped with edges a,b,c parallel to the coordi- nate axes x,y,2, respectively. On the face defined by the outward unit normal vector ~e,, the value of gn is ~e,(x) and on the face defined by e,, the value of om is e,6(x+a)=e,l6+ (89/ax)a+ (8% /8x)a*+---}. Conse- ‘quently, the surface integral over the two faces of the parallelopiped that are parallel to the y—z plane is e,abc{(@s/8x)+(@76/3x7)a+ ---}, with analo- gous expressions for the corresponding surface integrals over the remaining areas. Upon addition, we obtain the surface integral over all six sides parallelopiped: abcle,(¢/2x)+¢,(06/2y) + €,(8@/8z) + e,a(8*6/8x7) 1. In accordance with the definition (1.50a), we now divide this quantity by the Fig. 15 Element of volume.

The remaining identities are con- sidered in Exercises 1.32, 1.33, and 1.34. 1.10 ORTHOGONAL CURVILINEAR COORDINATES use of right-handed Cartesian coordinate ion of boundary value problems in elasticity theory becomes tractable only if the basic equations are referred to curvilinear coordinate systems. For this reason we now develap the basic notions of or I curvilinear coordinates and their associated geometric ‘and analytical implications. In addition, we find representations of the basic invariant diff ‘operators when referred to orthogonal, curvilinear coor- dinates. To achieve these goals, let us express the Cartesian coordinates 742, in terms of the curvilinear coordinates a,,7 by means of the equations we have made exch xea(aBy, yaaBy — 2=2(%B,y) (1.57) where x(x,8.y), (a,B.7), and 2(a,f,) denote single-valued functions of a,B,y with continuous partial derivatives of the first order in some given regiog.

If we hold one Fig, 16 Curvilinear coordinates. 24” MATHEMATICAL PRELIMINARIES coordinate constant, the other two will characterize a surface. In this manner wwe can show that three surfaces will pass through each point of the space. ‘These surfaces intersect to form the three coordinate curves. In the following ‘we shall limit our considerations to coordinate curves that are mutually Perpendicular at each point of space. Such coordinates are called orthogonal, ‘carvilinear coordinates. _If we denote the position vector from the origin O to the point P by OP=R, then with respect to the RCS we have the representation Raxe, +70, +26, (159) where'e,, ¢, and €, are constant unit vectors (see Section 1.4).
