What are the SU(3) structure constants and how can they be calculated?

Hi,

How can I calculate such terms

d^Aae d^ebD f^AaE f^EbD

d^Aae d^EbD f^AaE f^ebD

Cheers,
Safinaz

How about this article?

"A simple algorithm for the recursive reduction of the trace of a product of any number of the f and d matrices of SU (3) is given."
