The derivatives of scalars, vectors, and second-order tensors with respect to second-order tensors are of considerable use in continuum mechanics. These derivatives are used in the theories of nonlinear elasticity and plasticity, particularly in the design of algorithms for numerical simulations.[1] The directional derivative provides a systematic way of finding these derivatives.[2] Derivatives with respect to vectors and second-order tensorsThe definitions of directional derivatives for various situations are given below. It is assumed that the functions are sufficiently smooth that derivatives can be taken. Derivatives of scalar valued functions of vectorsLet f(v) be a real valued function of the vector v. Then the derivative of f(v) with respect to v (or at v) is the vector defined through its dot product with any vector u being for all vectors u. The above dot product yields a scalar, and if u is a unit vector gives the directional derivative of f at v, in the u direction. Properties:(1) If then (2) If then (3) If then Derivatives of vector valued functions of vectorsLet f(v) be a vector valued function of the vector v. Then the derivative of f(v) with respect to v (or at v) is the second order tensor defined through its dot product with any vector u being for all vectors u. The above dot product yields a vector, and if u is a unit vector gives the direction derivative of f at v, in the directional u. Properties: (1) If then (2) If then (3) If then Derivatives of scalar valued functions of second-order tensorsLet be a real valued function of the second order tensor . Then the derivative of with respect to (or at ) in the direction is the second order tensor defined as for all second order tensors . Properties: (1) If then (2) If then (3) If then Derivatives of tensor valued functions of second-order tensorsLet be a second order tensor valued function of the second order tensor . Then the derivative of with respect to (or at ) in the direction is the fourth order tensor defined as for all second order tensors . Properties: (1) If then (2) If then (3) If then (4) If then Gradient of a tensor fieldThe gradient, , of a tensor field in the direction of an arbitrary constant vector c is defined as: The gradient of a tensor field of order n is a tensor field of order n+1. Cartesian coordinates{{Einstein_summation_convention}}If are the basis vectors in a Cartesian coordinate system, with coordinates of points denoted by (), then the gradient of the tensor field is given by
Since the basis vectors do not vary in a Cartesian coordinate system we have the following relations for the gradients of a scalar field , a vector field v, and a second-order tensor field . Curvilinear coordinates{{main|Curvilinear coordinates}}{{Einstein_summation_convention}}If are the contravariant basis vectors in a curvilinear coordinate system, with coordinates of points denoted by (), then the gradient of the tensor field is given by (see [3] for a proof.) From this definition we have the following relations for the gradients of a scalar field , a vector field v, and a second-order tensor field . where the Christoffel symbol is defined using Cylindrical polar coordinatesIn cylindrical coordinates, the gradient is given by Divergence of a tensor fieldThe divergence of a tensor field is defined using the recursive relation where c is an arbitrary constant vector and v is a vector field. If is a tensor field of order n > 1 then the divergence of the field is a tensor of order n−1. Cartesian coordinates{{Einstein_summation_convention}}In a Cartesian coordinate system we have the following relations for a vector field v and a second-order tensor field . where tensor index notation for partial derivatives is used in the rightmost expressions. Note that last relation can be found in reference [4] under relation (1.14.13). Note also that according to the same paper in the case of the second-order tensor field, we have: Importantly, other written conventions for the divergence of a second-order tensor do exist. For example, in a Cartesian coordinate system the divergence of a second rank tensor can also be written as[5] The difference stems from whether the differentiation is performed with respect to the rows or columns of , and is conventional. This is demonstrated by an example. In a Cartesian coordinate system the second order tensor (matrix) is the gradient of a vector function . The last equation is equivalent to the alternative definition / interpretation[5] Curvilinear coordinates{{main|Curvilinear coordinates}}{{Einstein_summation_convention}}In curvilinear coordinates, the divergences of a vector field v and a second-order tensor field are Cylindrical polar coordinatesIn cylindrical polar coordinates Curl of a tensor fieldThe curl of an order-n > 1 tensor field is also defined using the recursive relation where c is an arbitrary constant vector and v is a vector field. Curl of a first-order tensor (vector) fieldConsider a vector field v and an arbitrary constant vector c. In index notation, the cross product is given by where is the permutation symbol, otherwise known as the Levi-Civita symbol. Then, Therefore, Curl of a second-order tensor fieldFor a second-order tensor Hence, using the definition of the curl of a first-order tensor field, Therefore, we have Identities involving the curl of a tensor fieldThe most commonly used identity involving the curl of a tensor field, , is This identity holds for tensor fields of all orders. For the important case of a second-order tensor, , this identity implies that Derivative of the determinant of a second-order tensorThe derivative of the determinant of a second order tensor is given by In an orthonormal basis, the components of can be written as a matrix A. In that case, the right hand side corresponds the cofactors of the matrix.
Derivatives of the invariants of a second-order tensorThe principal invariants of a second order tensor are The derivatives of these three invariants with respect to are
Derivative of the second-order identity tensorLet be the second order identity tensor. Then the derivative of this tensor with respect to a second order tensor is given by This is because is independent of . Derivative of a second-order tensor with respect to itselfLet be a second order tensor. Then Therefore, Here is the fourth order identity tensor. In index notation with respect to an orthonormal basis This result implies that where Therefore, if the tensor is symmetric, then the derivative is also symmetric and we get where the symmetric fourth order identity tensor is Derivative of the inverse of a second-order tensorLet and be two second order tensors, then In index notation with respect to an orthonormal basis We also have In index notation If the tensor is symmetric then
Integration by partsAnother important operation related to tensor derivatives in continuum mechanics is integration by parts. The formula for integration by parts can be written as where and are differentiable tensor fields of arbitrary order, is the unit outward normal to the domain over which the tensor fields are defined, represents a generalized tensor product operator, and is a generalized gradient operator. When is equal to the identity tensor, we get the divergence theorem We can express the formula for integration by parts in Cartesian index notation as For the special case where the tensor product operation is a contraction of one index and the gradient operation is a divergence, and both and are second order tensors, we have In index notation, See also
