Two-point tensors, or double vectors, are tensor-like quantities which transform as vectors with respect to each of their indices and are used in continuum mechanics to transform between reference ("material") and present ("configuration") coordinates.〔Humphrey, Jay D. Cardiovascular solid mechanics: cells, tissues, and organs. Springer Verlag, 2002.〕 Examples include the deformation gradient and the first Piola–Kirchhoff stress tensor. As with many applications of tensors, Einstein summation notation is frequently used. To clarify this notation, capital indices are often used to indicate reference coordinates and lowercase for present coordinates. Thus, a two-point tensor will have one capital and one lower-case index; for example, ''AjM''. ==Continuum mechanics== A conventional tensor can be viewed as a transformation of vectors in one coordinate system to other vectors in the same coordinate system. In contrast, a two-point tensor transforms vectors from one coordinate system to another. That is, a conventional tensor, : , actively transforms a vector u to a vector v such that : where v and u are measured in the same space and their coordinates representation is with respect to the same basis (denoted by the "''e''"). In contrast, a two-point tensor, G will be written as : and will transform a vector, U, in ''E'' system to a vector, v, in the e system as :. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Two-point tensor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
