Tensor Derivative (continuum Mechanics) - Gradient of A Tensor Field

Gradient of A Tensor Field

The gradient, of a tensor field in the direction of an arbitrary constant vector c is defined as:

The gradient of a tensor field of order n is a tensor field of order n+1.

Famous quotes containing the word field:

    I would say that deconstruction is affirmation rather than questioning, in a sense which is not positive: I would distinguish between the positive, or positions, and affirmations. I think that deconstruction is affirmative rather than questioning: this affirmation goes through some radical questioning, but it is not questioning in the field of analysis.
    Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
