Show that in a general coordinate system with variables x1, x2, x3, the contravariant basis vectors are given by
Hint:Write the gradient in terms of its covariant components and the basis
vectors to getand let .
Prove (9.4) in the following way. Using (9.2) with, show that
. Similarly, show that
and ∇. Let
in that order form a right-handed triad (so that
, etc.) and show that
. Take the divergence of this equation and, using the vector identities (h) and (b) in the table at the end of Chapter 6, show that
. The other parts of (9.4) are proved similar.
In spherical coordinates.
Interpret the elements of the matrices in Chapter 3, Problems 11.18 to11.21, as components of stress tensors. In each case diagonalize the matrix and so find the principal axes of the stress (along which the stress is pure tension or compression). Describe the stress relative to these axes. (See Example 1.)
Do Problem 5 for the coordinate systems indicated in Problems 10 to 13.Bipolar.
