Relation between axial vector and strain

[edit | edit source]

Let be a displacement field. Let be the strain field (infinitesimal) corresponding to the displacement field and let be the corresponding infinitesimal rotation vector. Show that

Proof:

The infinitesimal strain tensor is given by

Therefore,

Recall that

Hence,

Also recall that

Therefore,
