Write out the sums for each value of and compare the discussion of .Hint: For example, if [or y in ], then the pressure across the face perpendicular to theaxis is , or, in the notation of (1.1), .
Do Problem 3 in spherical coordinates; compare the results with Problem 8.3.
Consider the matrix A in .Think of the elements in each row (or column) as the components of a vector. Show that the row vectors form an orthonormal triad (that is each is of unit length and they are all mutually orthogonal), and the column vectors form an orthonormal triad.
Show that is an isotropic tensor of rank 5. Hint: Combine equations (5.4) and (5.7).
Interpret the elements of the matrices in Chapter 3, Problems 11.18 to11.21, as components of stress tensors. In each case diagonalize the matrix and so find the principal axes of the stress (along which the stress is pure tension or compression). Describe the stress relative to these axes. (See Example 1.)
