(a) Find the rotation tensor R (in terms of the dyads ii ij ) such that ii Rii .
(b) Find the components of A with respect to ii .
(2+3)
3. Consider the following 2 functions:
(i) v (bb)r , (ii) A (b r ) B .
where b is a constant vector and B is a constant tensor.

(a) Write the above two functions in index notation.


(b) Using the expressions of part (a), evaluate the following two derivatives in the index
notation: (i) v , (ii) A .

(2+3)
4. A rod fixed at point O ( 0, 0, ) is stretched by its own weight (Fig. 1). Since the
deformation is small, the deformed and undeformed configurations almost overlap. The
displacement field with respect to ( x, y, z ) coordinate system is:
