    Tensor notation
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the absence of a tensor form of linear Hooke's law expressed in terms of Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν). The user seeks assistance in rewriting the vector-matrix form of Hooke's law into a tensor notation, specifically using the tensor product. They provide equations relating E, ν, and the Lame parameters (G and λ) but express confusion about the conversion process. The conversation highlights the relationships between these parameters and the need for clarity in representing them in tensor form. Overall, the thread emphasizes the challenge of translating established equations into a different mathematical framework.

Rewrite the linear Hooke's law with E and v
Relevant Equations
Linear Hooke's law
Actually, this is not homework, but I think I need help like homework. It was raised from the notice that there is no tensor form of linear Hooke's law in terms of Young's modulus E, and Poission's ratio, v. For example, if we use lame parameters, we have G, \lambda, like

The linear Hooke's law (vector-matrix form) is

(https://physics.stackexchange.com/q...-materials-makes-stress-undefined-in-hookes-l)

I tried to just use the relationship like:
E=

v =

but, it ends up with an equation with 2 roots (the first eq for get G= f (E)), so I think I need help about write the notation form directly from the vector-matrix form of the linear Hooke's law

Start with $$\sigma_{xx}=\frac{E}{(1+\nu)(1-2\nu)}[(1-\nu)\epsilon_{xx}+\nu\epsilon_{yy}+\nu\epsilon_{zz}]$$Rewrite this as :$$\sigma_{xx}=\frac{E}{(1+\nu)(1-2\nu)}[(1-2\nu)\epsilon_{xx}+\nu(\epsilon_{xx}+\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{zz})]$$$$=\frac{E}{(1+\nu)}\epsilon _{xx}+\frac{E\nu}{(1+\nu)(1-2\nu)}(\epsilon_{xx}+\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{zz})$$$$=2G\epsilon_{xx}+\lambda (\epsilon_{xx}+\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{zz})$$

Thank you, but sorry I didn't get it, how can I rewrite the vector-matrix form into the form like 2.9. I mean use tensor product, I, to represent the following

Look at my equation again. It’s too easy. You have:$$G=\frac{E}{2(1+\nu)}$$and $$\lambda=\frac{E\nu}{(1+\nu)(1-2\nu)}$$
