In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an even order three dimensional strongly symmetric circulant tensor to be positive semi-definite. In some cases, we show that this condition is also sufficient for this tensor…
We derive the Green tensor of Mindlin's anisotropic first strain gradient elasticity. The Green tensor is valid for arbitrary anisotropic materials, with up to 21 elastic constants and 171 gradient elastic constants in the general case of…
A scheme suggested in the literature to determine the symmetry-imposed shape of linear response tensors is revised and extended to allow for the treatment of more complex situations. The extended scheme is applied to discuss the shape of…
Generically, a fully measured elasticity tensor has no material symmetry. For single crystals with a cubic lattice, or for the aeronautics turbine blades superalloys such as Nickelbased CMSX-4, cubic symmetry is nevertheless expected. It is…
We propose two classes of mixed finite elements for linear elasticity of any order, with interior penalty for nonconforming symmetric stress approximation. One key point of our method is to introduce some appropriate nonconforming…
We define a general product of two $n$-dimensional tensors $\mathbb {A}$ and $\mathbb {B}$ with orders $m\ge 2$ and $k\ge 1$, respectively. This product is a generalization of the usual matrix product, and satisfies the associative law.…
The perfectly matched layer is very important for the elastic wave problem in the frequency domain. Generally, the formulas of the elasticity tensor in the perfectly matched layers are derived from the transformed momentum equation. In this…
Given a rigidly-compactly generated tensor-triangulated category whose Balmer spectrum is finite dimensional and Noetherian, we construct a torsion model for it, which is equivalent to the original tensor-triangulated category. The torsion…
A definition is suggested for affine symmetry tensors, which generalize the notion of affine vectors in the same way that (conformal) Killing tensors generalize (conformal) Killing vectors. An identity for these tensors is proved, which…
The M-matrix is an important concept in matrix theory, and has many applications. Recently, this concept has been extended to higher order tensors [18]. In this paper, we establish some important properties of M-tensors and nonsingular…
The spectral decomposition of a symmetric, second-order tensor is widely adopted in many fields of Computational Mechanics. As an example, in elasto-plasticity under large strain and rotations, given the Cauchy deformation tensor, it is a…
We formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for a unit vector n to generate a plane or axial symmetry of a constitutive tensor. For the elasticity tensor, these conditions consist of two polynomial equations of degree lower than four…
We generalize the tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra previously developed in a series of papers by the first two authors to suitable module categories for a ''conformal vertex algebra'' or even more generally,…
An algebraic classification of second order symmetric tensors in 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein-type Lorentzian spaces is presented by using Jordan matrices. We show that the possible Segre types are $[1,1111]$, [2111], [311], [z,\bar{z},111],…
Octupolar tensors are third order, completely symmetric and traceless tensors. Whereas in 2D an octupolar tensor has the same symmetries as an equilateral triangle and can ultimately be identified with a vector in the plane, the symmetries…
M-eigenvalues of fourth order hierarchically symmetric tensors play a significant role in nonlinear elastic material analysis and quantum entanglement problems. This paper focuses on computing extreme M-eigenvalues for such tensors. To…
For a 4th order 3-dimensional cyclic symmetric tensor, a sufficient and necessary condition is bulit for its positive semi-definiteness. A sufficient and necessary condition of positive definiteness is showed for a 4th order $n$-dimensional…
In the study of symmetry classes of tensors, finding examples of symmetry classes of tensors that possess an o*-basis is of considerable interest. There are only few classes of groups that have been provided a necessary and sufficient…
In this paper, we first introduce the invertibility of even-order tensors and the separable tensors, including separable symmetry tensors and separable anti-symmetry tensors, defined respectively as the sum and the algebraic sum of rank-1…
The goal of this note is to provide a recursive algorithm that allows one to calculate the expansion of the metric tensor up to the desired order in Riemann normal coordinates. We test our expressions up to fourth order and predict results…
