1.13 Coordinate Transformation of Tensor （1.13坐标变换的张量）.pdfVIP

Section 1.13 1.13 Coordinate Transformation of Tensor Components This section generalises the results of §1.5, which dealt with vector coordinate transformations. It has been seen in §1.5.2 that the transformation equations for the    components of a vector are u Q u , where Q is the transformation matrix. Note that i ij j these Qij ’s are not the components of a tensor – these Qij s are mapping the components of a vector onto the components of the same vector in a second coordinate system – a (second-order) tensor, in general, maps one vector onto a different vector. The equation u Q u  is in matrix element form, and is not to be confused with the index notation for i ij j vectors and tensors. 1.13.1 Relationship between Base Vectors  Consider two coordinate systems with base vectors e and e . It has been seen in the i i context of vectors that, Eqn. 1.5.4, e e Q cos(x , x ) . (1.13.1) i j ij i j Recal that the i’s andj ’s here are not referring to the three different components of a vector, but to different vectors (nine different vectors in all). Note that the relationship 1.13.1 can also be derived as follows:   ei Iei (ek e k )ei (e e )e
