    This document outlines 5 questions for a homework assignment on tensor analysis. It provides instructions to email the submission as a single PDF file by October 5, 2020. The questions cover: 1) verifying the product of a symmetric and antisymmetric tensor vanishes, 2) computing expressions involving a vector and second-order tensor, 3) showing two second-order tensors are equal given a transformation, 4) manipulating terms involving the stress tensor, and 5) showing the triple product of linearly dependent vectors is zero using index notation.

    1. Verify in general that the product Aij Bij will vanish if Aij is symmetric and Bij is
    antisymmetric.

    2. For the following vector and 2nd-order tensor pair, compute the expressions ai ai , ai aj ,
    Aii , Aij aj :

       
    2 0 2 1
    a = 1
     A = 3 2 0
    1 1 0 4

    Specify the order of tensors obtained.

    3. Given that Sij = ai aj and Sij0 = a0i a0j , where a0i = Qmi am , and Qik Qjk = δij , show that
    Sii0 = Sii .

    4. Given that Tij = 2µEij + λEkk δij , show that (a) Tij Eij = 2µEij Eij + λ(Ekk )2 and (b)
    Tij Tij = 4µ2 Eij Eij + (Ekk )2 (4µλ + 3λ2 )

    5. Using index notations, show that u.(v × w) = 0 if vectors u, v and w are linearly
    dependent.
