Continuum Mechanics Mathematical Background Syllabus Overview Some Examples General Procedure for solving a continuum mechanics problem Vectors Vectors are important in continuum mechanics. The direction and magnitude of many variables can be most easily described by vectors. Unit vector – a vector of unit length (often denoted by a caret (pointy hat). Vector addition – add like components (A+B=B+A therefore vector addition is commutative) – ((A+B)+C=A+(B+C) therefore associative) Vectors 2 Multiplication by a scalar (same as addition – therefore associative and commutative. Scalar (dot
