Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given two vectors A and B, define their second-order tensor and its representation in a coordinate system. Then transform it to a new coordinate system after rotating it by 45 degrees.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for the rotation matrix to aid your transformations.

Question 2

Consider two different second-order tensors T1 and T2. Describe the procedure to multiply them and express the resulting tensor’s components.

💡 Hint: Focus on how the tensor indices interact when multiplied.
