Stress and Strain tensors in cylindrical coordinates

[QUOTE="Remixex, post: 6010261, member: 562859"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] I am following a textbook "Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media" by Kennet, I was greeted by the fact that he decided to use cylindrical coordinates to compute the Stress and Strain tensor, so given these two relations, that I believed to be constitutive given an isotropic elastic medium = $$\nabla (\textbf{u}) = \bar{\bar{\epsilon}}_{ij}$$ $$\tau_{ij}=\lambda \delta_{ij} \epsilon_{kk} + 2\mu \epsilon_{ij}$$ Given epsilon Strain and tau Stress tensors I was then surprised to see this [URL]https://imgur.com/x4PG3iN[/URL] Equation 2.1.4, the shear stresses (crossed derivatives) and strains hold water to what I did, but the diagonals have an extra something...it looks like a divergence, multiplied by lambda, Am I missing basic calculus knowledge to solve this problem? I admit to be a bit rusty in my notation, even computing the equation 2.1.2 was tiring, but now I'm really surprised by this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)[h2]Homework Equations[/h2] $$\nabla (\textbf{u}) = \bar{\bar{\epsilon}}_{ij}$$ $$\tau_{ij}=\lambda \delta_{ij} \epsilon_{kk} + 2\mu \epsilon_{ij}$$ [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Stated aboveP.S. [/B]= I posted it here because it is a mixture of math and physics, if it's wrong please let me know [/QUOTE]
