Double dot product in Cylindrical Polar coordinates

jeudi 31 juillet 2014

Hello,



I'm working with a problem in linear elasticity, and I have to calculate the strain energy function as follows:



2W = σijεij



Where σ and ε are symmetric rank 2 tensors.



For cartesian coordinates it is really easy because the metric is just the identity matrix, hence:



2W = σxxεxx + σyyεyy + σzzεzz + 2 σxyεxy + 2 σxzεxz + 2 σzyεzy



My question is how the expression should be for cylindrical polar coordinates (r,θ,z)



Thanks!
