“So, tensors are…?” –Multidimensional arrays –N dimensional generalizations of scalars 1 dimensional vectors 2 dimensional matrices – Elements: Numbers Functions Differentials
5
Boussinesq’s Problem…Saada To The Rescue Given: –Surface on Semi-infinite Domain –Point Load Need: –Stress felt on all points in the material
6
Saada’s Solution – Stress Tensor Solve for the stress tensor on the left.
