Transformations of Cartesian Tensors
Example: Let the primed axes Ox’1x’2x’3 be given with respect to the unprimed axes by a 45o counterclockwise rotation about the X2 axis as shown. Determine the primed components of the vector given by

Principal values and Principal Directions….
The tensor-vector product given below can be thought of as a linear transformation on vector u In particular for every symmetric tensor T having real components tij and defined at some point in physical space, there is associated with each direction at that point (identified by the unit vector ni) an image vector vi, given by If the vector vi is a scalar multiple of ni, that is then the direction defined by ni is called a principal direction, or eigenvector of T and the scalar is called the principal value or eigenvalue of T.
10
Principal values and Principal Directions….
This system of homogeneous equations will have non-trivial solution only if determinant of the coefficients vanishes which upon expansion leads to the cubic in called the characteristic equation
11
Principal values and Principal Directions….
real roots for symmetric tensor (tij real) if are distinct then principal directions are unique and mutually perpendicular. if (for example) then only the direction associated with will be unique (take any two (perpendicular) directions orthogonal to ) if every set of orthogonal axes can be regarded as the principal axes and every direction is said to be a principal direction
