The derivatives of scalars , vectors , and second-order tensors with respect to second-order tensors are of considerable use in continuum mechanics . These derivatives are used in the theories of nonlinear elasticity and plasticity , particularly in the design of algorithms for numerical simulations .[1]
The directional derivative provides a systematic way of finding these derivatives.[2]
Derivatives with respect to vectors and second-order tensors [ edit ] The definitions of directional derivatives for various situations are given below. It is assumed that the functions are sufficiently smooth that derivatives can be taken.
Derivatives of scalar valued functions of vectors [ edit ] Let f (v ) be a real valued function of the vector v . Then the derivative of f (v ) with respect to v (or at v ) is the vector defined through its dot product with any vector u being
∂ f ∂ v ⋅ u = D f ( v ) [ u ] = [ d d α f ( v + α u ) ] α = 0 {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial f}{\partial \mathbf {v} }}\cdot \mathbf {u} =Df(\mathbf {v} )[\mathbf {u} ]=\left[{\frac {d}{d\alpha }}~f(\mathbf {v} +\alpha ~\mathbf {u} )\right]_{\alpha =0}} for all vectors u . The above dot product yields a scalar, and if u is a unit vector gives the directional derivative of f at v , in the u direction.

Curl of a first-order tensor (vector) field [ edit ] Consider a vector field v and an arbitrary constant vector c . In index notation, the cross product is given by
v × c = ε i j k v j c k e i {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} \times \mathbf {c} =\varepsilon _{ijk}~v_{j}~c_{k}~\mathbf {e} _{i}} where
ε i j k {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{ijk}} is the
permutation symbol , otherwise known as the Levi-Civita symbol. Then,
∇ ⋅ ( v × c ) = ε i j k v j , i c k = ( ε i j k v j , i e k ) ⋅ c = ( ∇ × v ) ⋅ c {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\cdot (\mathbf {v} \times \mathbf {c} )=\varepsilon _{ijk}~v_{j,i}~c_{k}=(\varepsilon _{ijk}~v_{j,i}~\mathbf {e} _{k})\cdot \mathbf {c} =({\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\times \mathbf {v} )\cdot \mathbf {c} } Therefore,
∇ × v = ε i j k v j , i e k {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\times \mathbf {v} =\varepsilon _{ijk}~v_{j,i}~\mathbf {e} _{k}} Curl of a second-order tensor field [ edit ] For a second-order tensor S {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {S}}}
c ⋅ S = c m S m j e j {\displaystyle \mathbf {c} \cdot {\boldsymbol {S}}=c_{m}~S_{mj}~\mathbf {e} _{j}} Hence, using the definition of the curl of a first-order tensor field,
∇ × ( c ⋅ S ) = ε i j k c m S m j , i e k = ( ε i j k S m j , i e k ⊗ e m ) ⋅ c = ( ∇ × S ) ⋅ c {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\times (\mathbf {c} \cdot {\boldsymbol {S}})=\varepsilon _{ijk}~c_{m}~S_{mj,i}~\mathbf {e} _{k}=(\varepsilon _{ijk}~S_{mj,i}~\mathbf {e} _{k}\otimes \mathbf {e} _{m})\cdot \mathbf {c} =({\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\times {\boldsymbol {S}})\cdot \mathbf {c} } Therefore, we have
∇ × S = ε i j k S m j , i e k ⊗ e m {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\times {\boldsymbol {S}}=\varepsilon _{ijk}~S_{mj,i}~\mathbf {e} _{k}\otimes \mathbf {e} _{m}} Identities involving the curl of a tensor field [ edit ] The most commonly used identity involving the curl of a tensor field, T {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {T}}}
∇ × ( ∇ T ) = 0 {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\times ({\boldsymbol {\nabla }}{\boldsymbol {T}})={\boldsymbol {0}}} This identity holds for tensor fields of all orders. For the important case of a second-order tensor,
S {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {S}}} , this identity implies that
∇ × ( ∇ S ) = 0 ⟹ S m i , j − S m j , i = 0 {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\nabla }}\times ({\boldsymbol {\nabla }}{\boldsymbol {S}})={\boldsymbol {0}}\quad \implies \quad S_{mi,j}-S_{mj,i}=0} Derivative of the determinant of a second-order tensor [ edit ] The derivative of the determinant of a second order tensor A {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {A}}}
∂ ∂ A det ( A ) = det ( A ) [ A − 1 ] T . {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial }{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}\det({\boldsymbol {A}})=\det({\boldsymbol {A}})~\left[{\boldsymbol {A}}^{-1}\right]^{\textsf {T}}~.} In an orthonormal basis, the components of A {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {A}}} A . In that case, the right hand side corresponds the cofactors of the matrix.
Derivatives of the invariants of a second-order tensor [ edit ] The principal invariants of a second order tensor are
I 1 ( A ) = tr A I 2 ( A ) = 1 2 [ ( tr A ) 2 − tr A 2 ] I 3 ( A ) = det ( A ) {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}I_{1}({\boldsymbol {A}})&={\text{tr}}{\boldsymbol {A}}\\I_{2}({\boldsymbol {A}})&={\frac {1}{2}}\left[({\text{tr}}{\boldsymbol {A}})^{2}-{\text{tr}}{{\boldsymbol {A}}^{2}}\right]\\I_{3}({\boldsymbol {A}})&=\det({\boldsymbol {A}})\end{aligned}}} The derivatives of these three invariants with respect to A {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {A}}}
∂ I 1 ∂ A = 1 ∂ I 2 ∂ A = I 1 1 − A T ∂ I 3 ∂ A = det ( A ) [ A − 1 ] T = I 2 1 − A T ( I 1 1 − A T ) = ( A 2 − I 1 A + I 2 1 ) T {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\frac {\partial I_{1}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}&={\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}\\[3pt]{\frac {\partial I_{2}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}&=I_{1}~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}-{\boldsymbol {A}}^{\textsf {T}}\\[3pt]{\frac {\partial I_{3}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}&=\det({\boldsymbol {A}})~\left[{\boldsymbol {A}}^{-1}\right]^{\textsf {T}}=I_{2}~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}-{\boldsymbol {A}}^{\textsf {T}}~\left(I_{1}~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}-{\boldsymbol {A}}^{\textsf {T}}\right)=\left({\boldsymbol {A}}^{2}-I_{1}~{\boldsymbol {A}}+I_{2}~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}\right)^{\textsf {T}}\end{aligned}}} Proof From the derivative of the determinant we know that
∂ I 3 ∂ A = det ( A ) [ A − 1 ] T . {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial I_{3}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}=\det({\boldsymbol {A}})~\left[{\boldsymbol {A}}^{-1}\right]^{\textsf {T}}~.} For the derivatives of the other two invariants, let us go back to the characteristic equation
det ( λ 1 + A ) = λ 3 + I 1 ( A ) λ 2 + I 2 ( A ) λ + I 3 ( A ) . {\displaystyle \det(\lambda ~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+{\boldsymbol {A}})=\lambda ^{3}+I_{1}({\boldsymbol {A}})~\lambda ^{2}+I_{2}({\boldsymbol {A}})~\lambda +I_{3}({\boldsymbol {A}})~.} Using the same approach as for the determinant of a tensor, we can show that
∂ ∂ A det ( λ 1 + A ) = det ( λ 1 + A ) [ ( λ 1 + A ) − 1 ] T . {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial }{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}\det(\lambda ~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+{\boldsymbol {A}})=\det(\lambda ~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+{\boldsymbol {A}})~\left[(\lambda ~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+{\boldsymbol {A}})^{-1}\right]^{\textsf {T}}~.} Now the left hand side can be expanded as
∂ ∂ A det ( λ 1 + A ) = ∂ ∂ A [ λ 3 + I 1 ( A ) λ 2 + I 2 ( A ) λ + I 3 ( A ) ] = ∂ I 1 ∂ A λ 2 + ∂ I 2 ∂ A λ + ∂ I 3 ∂ A . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\frac {\partial }{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}\det(\lambda ~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+{\boldsymbol {A}})&={\frac {\partial }{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}\left[\lambda ^{3}+I_{1}({\boldsymbol {A}})~\lambda ^{2}+I_{2}({\boldsymbol {A}})~\lambda +I_{3}({\boldsymbol {A}})\right]\\&={\frac {\partial I_{1}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}~\lambda ^{2}+{\frac {\partial I_{2}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}~\lambda +{\frac {\partial I_{3}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}~.\end{aligned}}} Hence
∂ I 1 ∂ A λ 2 + ∂ I 2 ∂ A λ + ∂ I 3 ∂ A = det ( λ 1 + A ) [ ( λ 1 + A ) − 1 ] T {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial I_{1}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}~\lambda ^{2}+{\frac {\partial I_{2}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}~\lambda +{\frac {\partial I_{3}}{\partial {\boldsymbol {A}}}}=\det(\lambda ~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+{\boldsymbol {A}})~\left[(\lambda ~{\boldsymbol {\mathit {1}}}+{\boldsymbol {A}})^{-1}\right]^{\textsf {T}}} or,
( λ 1 + A ) T ⋅ [ ∂ I 1 ∂ A λ 2 + ∂ I 2 ∂ A λ + ∂ I 3 ∂ A ] = det ( λ 1 + A ) 1 .
