a. Any physical quantity is of second order tensor or tensor of rank 2 if it follows the

tensor transformation 𝑨 = 𝑸𝑨𝑸T . The displacement gradient is a second order

tensor.

i. Use fundamental definition of 𝑯 = grad(𝒖) as the starting point to show

that 𝑯 is a second order tensor.

basis to spherical basis. The gradient vector & displacement vector in spherical

coordinate system are given. The strain tensor can be computed by considering

symmetric gradient of 𝒖.
