Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a skew-symmetric tensor: W = [ 0 -1 2; 1 0 -0; -2 0 0], derive the axial vector and the angle of rotation.

💡 Hint: Start by identifying non-zero elements in W.

Question 2

In a material experiencing shear and local rigid rotation simultaneously, calculate the isolated effect of rotation on the angle given an axial vector representation.

💡 Hint: Visualize how rotation happens even while shear is present.
