Summary
The paper p r e s e n t s i r second o r d e r tensors
a simple account of invariant theory from the point
of view of its application to continuum mechanics.
It is demonstrated that working with the t e n s o r s
themselves instead of working with their components exclusively, leads not only to certain added
convenience in manipulation, but also to enhanced
understanding of the concepts of eigenvalues,
eigenvectors and invariants of second o r d e r t e n s o r s .
In addition, it is shown that in general curvilinear coordinate s y s t e m s (Lagrangian point of view
in continuum mechanics) the c l a s s i c a l computer
techniques can be applied provided the mixed tensor
components a r e used. In p a r t i c u l a r invariants,
eigenvalues and eigenvectors a r e explicit functions
of the deformation p r o c e s s that the curvilinear
coordinate system is undergoing.
Finally, a general n u m e r i c a l scheme is given
in o r d e r to be used and implemented in a computer
code.

Expanded forms of the invariants
In the previous section we found that the basic c h a r a c t e r i s t i c
equation is obtained by using the mixed components. In fact, the
c h a r a c t e r i s t i c eq. (8) i s the most convenient form to express the
t h r e e invariants I j , I2 and I3 v e r s u s the t e n s o r components.
By expanding the indiciai forms of

the r e a d e r may verify that the invariants a r e equivalent to the ex
panded forms given in F i g . 1.
As far a s the mixed components a r e known then all the inva
r i a n t s can be calculated. However, the mixed components of a ten
sor a r e not always known, and we have seen that for constitutive
laws expressed with the Lagrangian p a r a m e t e r s the s t r e s s e s a r e
known via their contravariant components while the strains a r e
known via their covariant components.
Therefore,
the expanded forms of the invariants r e m a i n the same but the mixed
components have to be first evaluated through the following relations:
