  • CHAPTER 1 – Suffix Notation
    Continuum Mechanics, 1994
    Co-Authors: D.s. Chandrasekharaiah
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the short-hand Notation, known as the Suffix Notation, subscript Notation, or index Notation, employed in the treatment of Cartesian tensors. The language of tensors is best suited for the development of the subject of continuum mechanics. A vector is an entity that has two characteristics: (1) magnitude and (2) direction. Force and velocity are two typical examples of a vector. Geometrically, a vector is represented by a directed line segment with the length of the segment representing the magnitude of the vector and the direction of the segment indicating the direction of the vector. Evidently, the magnitude of a vector is a nonnegative real number. Two vectors are said to be equal if they have the same magnitude and the same direction. Two vectors are said to be collinear if their directions are either the same or opposite.

  • Suffix Notation and its Applications
    Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series, 1998
    Co-Authors: Paul C. Matthews
    Abstract:

    This chapter introduces a powerful, compact Notation for manipulating vector quantities. In the previous chapters, many of the vector expressions are awkward and cumbersome. This applies particularly to those expressions involving the cross product and the curl, such as the scalar triple product (1.8), the derivation of the alternative expression for the vector triple product (1.9) and the demonstration that ▽ · ▽φ = 0 (3.23). Through the use of a new Notation, Suffix Notation, such complicated expressions can be written much more concisely and many results can be proved more easily.
