Mnemonic Rule
An easy Mnemonic rule for memorizing Voigt notation is as follows:
- Write down the second order tensor in matrix form (in the Example the Stress Tensor)
- Strike out the diagonal
- Continue on the third column
- Go back to the first element along the first row.
Voigt indexes are numbered consecutively from the starting point to the end (in Example the numbers in blue).

Famous quotes containing the word rule:
“Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
