STRESS AND INFINITESIMAL STRAIN<br />

As discussed by Jennings (1977), a unique property of the rotation matrix is that its<br />

inverse is equal to its transpose, i.e.<br />

[R] −1 = [R] T<br />

(2.12)<br />

Returning now to the relations between [t] <strong>and</strong> [t ∗ ], <strong>and</strong> [] <strong>and</strong> [ ∗ ], the results<br />

expressed in equations 2.11 <strong>and</strong> 2.12 indicate that<br />

or<br />

<strong>and</strong><br />

or<br />

Then<br />

but since<br />

then<br />

[t ∗ ] = [R][t]<br />

[t] = [R] T [t ∗ ]<br />

[ ∗ ] = [R][]<br />

[] = [R] T [ ∗ ]<br />

[t ∗ ] = [R][t]<br />

= [R][][]<br />

= [R][][R] T [ ∗ ]<br />

[t ∗ ] = [ ∗ ][ ∗ ]<br />

[ ∗ ] = [R][][R] T<br />

(2.13)<br />

Equation 2.13 is the required stress transformation equation. It indicates that the<br />

state of stress at a point is transformed, under a rotation of axes, as a second-order<br />

tensor.<br />

Equation 2.13 when written in exp<strong>and</strong>ed notation becomes<br />

⎡<br />

⎤ ⎡<br />

⎤ ⎡<br />

⎤ ⎡<br />

⎤<br />

ll lm nl lx ly lz xx xy zx lx mx nx<br />

⎣ lm mm mn ⎦ = ⎣ mx m y mz ⎦ ⎣ xy yy yz ⎦ ⎣ ly m y n y ⎦<br />

nl mn nn<br />

nx n y nz<br />

zx yz zz<br />

lz mz nz<br />

Proceeding with the matrix multiplication on the right-h<strong>and</strong> side of this expression,<br />

in the usual way, produces explicit formulae for determining the stress components<br />

under a rotation of axes, given by<br />

22<br />

ll = l 2 x xx + l 2 y yy + l 2 z zz + 2(lxlyxy + lylzyz + lzlxzx) (2.14)<br />

lm = lxmxxx + lym yyy + lzmzzz + (lxmy + lymx)xy<br />

+ (lymz + lzm y)yz + (lzmx + lxmz)zx<br />
