Recall the definition of
stress
:
σ
= stress =
“intensity of internal force at a point
”

strain
:
ε
=
strain
= “
percentage deformation of an infinitesimal element
”

Since stress and strain have components in several directions, we need a notation to represent these (as you learnt initially in Unified)
Several possible
?
Tensor (indicial) notation
?
Contracted notation
will review here
?
Engineering notation
and give examples
?
Matrix notation
in recitation
IMPORTANT
:
Regardless of the
notation, the equations and concepts have the same meaning ?
learn, be comfortable with, be able to
use all notations
Tensor (or Summation) Notation
?
“Easy” to write complicated formulae
?
“Easy” to mathematically manipulate
?
“Elegant
”, rigorous
?
Use for derivations or to succinctly express a set of equations or a long equation

Rules for subscripts
NOTE:
index
≡
subscript
?
Latin
subscripts (m, n, p, q, …) take on the values 1, 2, 3 (3-D)
?
Greek
subscripts (
α
,
β
,
γ
…
)
take on the values 1, 2 (2-D)
?
When subscripts are
repeated
on one side of the equation
within one term
, they are called
dummy indices
and are to be
summed on
Thus:
3
f
ij
y
j
=
∑
f
ij
y
j
j=
1
But
f
ij
y
j
+
g
i
...
do not sum on i !
?
Subscripts which appear
only once
on the left side of the equation
within one term
are called
free indices
and represent a separate
equation
Paul A. Lagace
? 2001

Thus:
x
i
=
…..
?
x
1
=
…..
x
2
=
…..
x
3
=
…..
Key
Concept
:
The letters used for
indices have no inherent meaning in and of themselves
Thus:
x
i
=
f
ij
y
j
is the same as:
x
r
=
f
r
s
y
s
or
x
j
=
f y
i
ji
Now apply these concepts for stress/strain analysis:

Note
:
Normally
this is so,
but
always check
definitions in any article, book, report, etc.
Key
issue is self-consistency, not consistency with a worldwide standard (an official one does
not
exist!)

for strain tensor:

Other Notations
Engineering Notation
?
One of two most commonly used
?
Requires writing out all equations (no
“
shorthand
”
)
?
Easier to see all components when written out fully
Contracted Notation
?
Other of two most commonly used
?
Requires less writing
?
Often used with composites (
“reduces”
four subscripts on
elasticity term to two)
?
Meaning of subscripts not as
“physical
”
?
Requires writing out all equations generally (there is contracted “
shorthand
”
)
