Detailed Description

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number>
class SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >

Provide a class that stores symmetric tensors of rank 2,4,... efficiently, i.e. only store those off-diagonal elements of the full tensor that are not redundant. For example, for symmetric \(2\times 2\) tensors, this would be the elements 11, 22, and 12, while the element 21 is equal to the 12 element. Within this documentation, second order symmetric tensors are denoted as bold-faced upper-case Latin letters such as \(\mathbf A, \mathbf B, \dots\) or bold-faced Greek letters such as \(\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}\), \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}\). The Cartesian coordinates of a second-order tensor such as \(\mathbf A\) are represented as \(A_{ij}\) where \(i,j\) are indices ranging from 0 to dim-1.

Using this class for symmetric tensors of rank 2 has advantages over matrices in many cases since the dimension is known to the compiler as well as the location of the data. It is therefore possible to produce far more efficient code than for matrices with runtime-dependent dimension. It is also more efficient than using the more general Tensor class, since fewer elements are stored, and the class automatically makes sure that the tensor represents a symmetric object.

For tensors of higher rank, the savings in storage are even higher. For example for the \(3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3\) tensors of rank 4, only 36 instead of the full 81 entries have to be stored. These rank 4 tensors are denoted by blackboard-style upper-case Latin letters such as \(\mathbb A\) with components \(\mathcal{A}_{ijkl}\).

While the definition of a symmetric rank-2 tensor is obvious, tensors of rank 4 are considered symmetric if they are operators mapping symmetric rank-2 tensors onto symmetric rank-2 tensors. This so-called minor symmetry of the rank 4 tensor requires that for every set of four indices \(i, j, k, l\), the identity \(\mathcal{C}_{ijkl} = \mathcal{C}_{jikl} = \mathcal{C}_{ijlk}\) holds. However, it does not imply the relation \(\mathcal{C}_{ijkl} = \mathcal{C}_{klij}\). Consequently, symmetric tensors of rank 4 as understood here are only tensors that map symmetric tensors onto symmetric tensors, but they do not necessarily induce a symmetric scalar product \(\mathbf A : \mathbb C : \mathbf B = \mathbf B : \mathbb C : \mathbf A\) or even a positive (semi-)definite form \(\mathbf A : \mathbb C : \mathbf A\), where \(\mathbf A, \mathbf B\) are symmetric rank-2 tensors and the colon indicates the common double-index contraction that acts as a scalar product for symmetric tensors.

Symmetric tensors are most often used in structural and fluid mechanics, where strains and stresses are usually symmetric tensors, and the stress-strain relationship is given by a symmetric rank-4 tensor.

Note
Symmetric tensors only exist with even numbers of indices. In other words, the only objects that you can use are SymmetricTensor<2,dim>, SymmetricTensor<4,dim>, etc, but SymmetricTensor<1,dim> and SymmetricTensor<3,dim> do not exist and their use will most likely lead to compiler errors.

Accessing elements

The elements of a tensor \(\mathbb C\) can be accessed using the bracket operator, i.e. for a tensor of rank 4, C[0][1][0][1] accesses the element \(\mathcal{C}_{0101}\). This access can be used for both reading and writing (if the tensor is non-constant at least). You may also perform other operations on it, although that may lead to confusing situations because several elements of the tensor are stored at the same location. For example, for a rank-2 tensor that is assumed to be zero at the beginning, writing A[0][1]+=1; A[1][0]+=1; will lead to the same element being increased by one twice, because even though the accesses use different indices, the elements that are accessed are symmetric and therefore stored at the same location. It may therefore be useful in application programs to restrict operations on individual elements to simple reads or writes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SymmetricTensor() [1/4]

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::SymmetricTensor ( )
constexprdefault

Default constructor. Creates a tensor with all entries equal to zero.

◆ SymmetricTensor() [2/4]

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
template<typename OtherNumber >
SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::SymmetricTensor ( const Tensor< 2, dim, OtherNumber > &  t)
explicit

Constructor. Generate a symmetric tensor from a general one. Assumes that t is already symmetric, and in debug mode this is in fact checked. Note that no provision is made to assure that the tensor is symmetric only up to round-off error: if the incoming tensor is not exactly symmetric, then an exception is thrown. If you know that incoming tensor is symmetric only up to round-off, then you may want to call the symmetrize() function first. If you aren't sure, it is good practice to check before calling symmetrize().

Because we check for symmetry via a non-constexpr function call, you will have to use the symmetrize() function in constexpr contexts instead.

◆ SymmetricTensor() [3/4]

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::SymmetricTensor ( const Number(&)  array[n_independent_components])
constexpr

A constructor that creates a symmetric tensor from an array holding its independent elements. Using this constructor assumes that the caller knows the order in which elements are stored in symmetric tensors; its use is therefore discouraged, but if you think you want to use it anyway you can query the order of elements using the unrolled_index() function.

This constructor is currently only implemented for symmetric tensors of rank 2.

The size of the array passed is equal to SymmetricTensor<rank_,dim>::n_independent_components; the reason for using the object from the internal namespace is to work around bugs in some older compilers.

◆ SymmetricTensor() [4/4]

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
template<typename OtherNumber >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::SymmetricTensor ( const SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, OtherNumber > &  initializer)
explicitconstexpr

Copy constructor from tensors with different underlying scalar type. This obviously requires that the OtherNumber type is convertible to Number.

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
template<typename OtherNumber >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor & SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::operator= ( const SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, OtherNumber > &  rhs)

◆ operator/=()

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
template<typename OtherNumber >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor & SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::operator/= ( const OtherNumber &  factor)

◆ operator-()

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::operator- ( ) const
constexpr

Unary minus operator. Negate all entries of a tensor.

◆ operator*() [1/2]

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
template<typename OtherNumber >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr internal::SymmetricTensorAccessors::double_contraction_result< rank_, 2, dim, Number, OtherNumber >::type SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::operator* ( const SymmetricTensor< 2, dim, OtherNumber > &  s) const
constexpr

Double contraction product between the present symmetric tensor and a tensor of rank 2. For example, if the present object is the symmetric rank-2 tensor \(\mathbf{A}\) and it is multiplied by another symmetric rank-2 tensor \(\mathbf{B}\), then the result is the scalar-product double contraction \(\mathbf A : \mathbf B = \sum_{i,j} A_{ij} B_{ij}\). In this case, the return value evaluates to a single scalar. While it is possible to define other scalar products (and associated induced norms), this one seems to be the most appropriate one.

If the present object is a rank-4 tensor such as \(\mathbb A\), then the result is a rank-2 tensor \(\mathbf C = \mathbb A : \mathbf B\), i.e., the operation contracts over the last two indices of the present object and the indices of the argument, and the result is a tensor of rank 2 ( \(C_{ij} = \sum_{k,l} \mathcal{A}_{ijkl} B_{kl}\)).

Note that the multiplication operator for symmetric tensors is defined to be a double contraction over two indices, while it is defined as a single contraction over only one index for regular Tensor objects. For symmetric tensors it therefore acts in a way that is commonly denoted by a "colon multiplication" in the mathematical literature (the two dots of the colon suggesting that it is a contraction over two indices), which corresponds to a scalar product between tensors.

It is worth pointing out that this definition of operator* between symmetric tensors is different to how the (in general non-symmetric) Tensor class defines operator*, namely as the single-contraction product over the last index of the first operand and the first index of the second operand. For the double contraction of Tensor objects, you will need to use the double_contract() function.

To maintain at least a modicum of resemblance between the interfaces of Tensor and SymmetricTensor, there are also global functions double_contract() for symmetric tensors that then do the same work as this operator. However, rather than returning the result as a return value, they write it into the first argument to the function in the same way as the corresponding functions for the Tensor class do things.

Note
The origin of the difference in how operator*() is implemented between Tensor and SymmetricTensor is that for the former, the product between two Tensor objects of same rank and dimension results in another Tensor object – that it, operator*() corresponds to the multiplicative group action within the group of tensors. On the other hand, there is no corresponding multiplicative group action with the set of symmetric tensors because, in general, the product of two symmetric tensors is a nonsymmetric tensor. As a consequence, for a mathematician, it is clear that operator*() for symmetric tensors must have a different meaning: namely the dot or scalar product that maps two symmetric tensors of rank 2 to a scalar. This corresponds to the double-dot (colon) operator whose meaning is then extended to the product of any two even-ranked symmetric tensors.

Access to an element according to unrolled index. The function s.access_raw_entry(unrolled_index) does the same as s[s.unrolled_to_component_indices(unrolled_index)], but more efficiently.

◆ access_raw_entry() [2/2]

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr Number & SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::access_raw_entry ( const unsigned int  unrolled_index)

Access to an element according to unrolled index. The function s.access_raw_entry(unrolled_index) does the same as s[s.unrolled_to_component_indices(unrolled_index)], but more efficiently.

◆ norm()

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr numbers::NumberTraits< Number >::real_type SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::norm ( ) const
constexpr

Return the Frobenius-norm of a tensor, i.e. the square root of the sum of squares of all entries. This norm is induced by the scalar product defined above for two symmetric tensors. Note that it includes all entries of the tensor, counting symmetry, not only the unique ones (for example, for rank-2 tensors, this norm includes adding up the squares of upper right as well as lower left entries, not just one of them, although they are equal for symmetric tensors).

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
static DEAL_II_HOST constexpr unsigned int SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::component_to_unrolled_index ( const TableIndices< rank_ > &  indices)

Tensor objects can be unrolled by simply pasting all elements into one long vector, but for this an order of elements has to be defined. For symmetric tensors, this function returns which index within the range [0,n_independent_components) the given entry in a symmetric tensor has.

◆ unrolled_to_component_indices()

template<int rank_, int dim, typename Number >
static DEAL_II_HOST constexpr TableIndices< rank_ > SymmetricTensor< rank_, dim, Number >::unrolled_to_component_indices ( const unsigned int  i)

The opposite of the previous function: given an index \(i\) in the unrolled form of the tensor, return what set of indices \((k,l)\) (for rank-2 tensors) or \((k,l,m,n)\) (for rank-4 tensors) corresponds to it.

◆ clear()

Reset all values to zero.

Note that this is partly inconsistent with the semantics of the clear() member functions of the standard library containers and of several other classes within deal.II, which not only reset the values of stored elements to zero, but release all memory and return the object into an empty state. However, since the size of objects of the present type is determined by its template parameters, resizing is not an option, and indeed the state where all elements have a zero value is the state right after construction of such an object.

Return a unit symmetric tensor of rank 2, i.e., the \(\text{dim}\times\text{dim}\) identity matrix \(\mathbf I\). For example, if dim==2, then this matrix has the form

\[ I_{2\times 2} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}. \]

◆ deviator_tensor()

template<int dim, typename Number = double>
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor< 4, dim, Number > deviator_tensor ( )
related

Return the tensor of rank 4 that, when multiplied by a symmetric rank 2 tensor \(\mathbf T\) returns the deviator \(\text{dev}\ \mathbf T\). It is the operator representation of the linear deviator operator \(\mathbb P\), also known as the volumetric projection tensor, calculated as:

\begin{align*} \mathbb{P} &=\mathbb{S} -\frac{1}{\text{dim}} \mathbf I \otimes \mathbf I \\ \mathcal{P}_{ijkl} &= \frac 12 \left(\delta_{ik} \delta_{jl} + \delta_{il} \delta_{jk} \right) - \frac{1}{\text{dim}} \delta_{ij} \delta_{kl} \end{align*}

For every tensor T, there holds the identity deviator<dim,Number>(T) == deviator_tensor<dim,Number>() * T, up to numerical round-off.

\[ \text{dev}\mathbf T = \mathbb P : \mathbf T \]

Note
The reason this operator representation is provided is to simplify taking derivatives of the deviatoric part of tensors:

\[ \frac{\partial \text{dev}\mathbf{T}}{\partial \mathbf T} = \mathbb P. \]

Definition at line 3101 of file symmetric_tensor.h.

◆ identity_tensor()

template<int dim, typename Number = double>
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr SymmetricTensor< 4, dim, Number > identity_tensor ( )
related

Return the fourth-order symmetric identity tensor \(\mathbb S\) which maps symmetric second-order tensors, such as \(\mathbf A\), to themselves.

\[ \mathbb S : \mathbf A = \mathbf A \]

Note that this tensor, even though it is the identity, has a somewhat funny form, and in particular does not only consist of zeros and ones. For example, for dim=2, the identity tensor has all zero entries except for

\[ \mathcal{S}_{0000} = \mathcal{S}_{1111} = 1 \]

\[ \mathcal{S}_{0101} = \mathcal{S}_{0110} = \mathcal{S}_{1001} = \mathcal{S}_{1010} = \frac 12. \]

In index notation, we can write the general form

\[ \mathcal{S}_{ijkl} = \frac 12 \left( \delta_{ik} \delta_{jl} + \delta_{il} \delta_{jk} \right). \]

To see why this factor of \(1 / 2\) is necessary, consider computing \(\mathbf A= \mathbb I : \mathbf B\). For the element \(A_{01}\) we have \(A_{01} = \mathcal{S}_{0100} B_{00} + \mathcal{S}_{0111} B_{11} + \mathcal{S}_{0101} B_{01} + \mathcal{S}_{0110} B_{10}\). On the other hand, we need to have \(A_{01} = B_{01}\), and symmetry implies \(B_{01}=B_{10}\), leading to \(A_{01} = (\mathcal{S}_{0101} + \mathcal{S}_{0110}) B_{01}\), or, again by symmetry, \(\mathcal{S}_{0101} = \mathcal{S}_{0110} = \frac 12\). Similar considerations hold for the three-dimensional case.

This issue is also explained in the introduction to step-44.

Compute the deviator of a symmetric tensor, which is defined as \(\text{dev} \mathbf T = \mathbf T - \frac{1}{\text{dim}} \text{tr}\mathbf T \; \mathbf I\), where \(\mathbf I\) is the identity operator. This quantity equals the original tensor minus its contractive or dilative component and refers to the shear in, for example, elasticity.

◆ determinant()

template<int dim, typename Number >
DEAL_II_HOST constexpr Number determinant ( const SymmetricTensor< 2, dim, Number > &  )

Compute the determinant of a rank 2 symmetric tensor. The determinant is also commonly referred to as the third invariant of rank-2 tensors.

For a one-dimensional tensor, the determinant equals the only element and is therefore equivalent to the trace.

For greater notational simplicity, there is also a third_invariant() function that returns the determinant of a tensor.

◆ second_invariant() [2/3]

For the kind of arguments to this function, i.e., a symmetric rank-2 tensor of size 2, the result is (counting indices starting at one) \(I_2(\mathbf A) = II(\mathbf A) = \frac 12 \left[ (A_{11} + A_{22})^2 - (A_{11}^2+2 A_{12}^2+ A_{22}^2) \right] = A_{11} A_{22} - A_{12}^2\). As expected, for the \(2\times 2\) symmetric tensors this function handles, this equals the determinant of the tensor. (This is so because for \(2\times 2\) symmetric tensors, there really are only two invariants, so the second and third invariant are the same; the determinant is the third invariant.)

For example, the deviator tensor \(\mathbb P = \mathbb I - \frac{1}{\text{dim}} \mathbf I \otimes \mathbf I\) can be computed as identity_tensor<dim>() - 1/d * outer_product (unit_symmetric_tensor<dim>(), unit_symmetric_tensor<dim>()), since the (double) contraction with the unit tensor yields the trace of a symmetric tensor ( \(\mathbf I : \mathbf B = \text{tr} \mathbf B\)).

related

This function is similar to the function positive_negative_split(). That is, perform a spectrum decomposition of a 2nd-order symmetric tensor original_tensor given as the input argument, and split it into a positive part and a negative part. Moreover, this function also provides the derivatives. Let \(\mathbf{A}\) represent the input 2nd-order symmetric tensor original_tensor, \(\mathbf{A}^+\) represent the positive part, and \(\mathbf{A}^-\) represent the negative part. Then, two fourth-order tensors are defined as

\[ \mathbb{P}^+ = \frac{\partial \mathbf{A}^+}{\partial \mathbf{A}}, \quad \mathbb{P}^- = \frac{\partial \mathbf{A}^-}{\partial \mathbf{A}}, \]

where \(\mathbb{P}^+\) is the positive projector and \(\mathbb{P}^-\) is the negative projector. These two fourth-order tensors satisfy the following properties:

\[ \mathbb{P}^+ : \mathbf{A} = \mathbf{A}^+, \quad \mathbb{P}^- : \mathbf{A} = \mathbf{A}^-. \]

Since \(\mathbb{P}^+\) and \(\mathbb{P}^-\) are 4th-order projectors,

\[ \mathbb{P}^+ : \mathbf{A}^+ = \mathbf{A}^+, \quad \mathbb{P}^- : \mathbf{A}^- = \mathbf{A}^-, \quad \mathbb{P}^+ : \mathbf{A}^- = \mathbb{P}^- : \mathbf{A}^+ = \mathbf{0}. \]

Lastly,

\[ \mathbb{P}^+ + \mathbb{P}^- = \mathbb{S}, \]

where \(\mathbb{S}\) is the fourth-order symmetric identity tensor Physics::Elasticity::StandardTensors< dim >::S. The output of this function is a tuple containing four terms. The first term is \(\mathbf{A}^+\), the second term is \(\mathbf{A}^-\), the third term is \(\mathbb{P}^+\), and the fourth term is \(\mathbb{P}^-\).

Multiplication of a symmetric tensor with a scalar number from the right.

The purpose of this operator is to enable only multiplication of a tensor by a scalar number (i.e., a floating point number, a complex floating point number, etc.). The function is written in a way that only allows the compiler to consider the function if the second argument is indeed a scalar number – in other words, OtherNumber will not match, for example std::vector<double> as the product of a tensor and a vector clearly would make no sense. The mechanism by which the compiler is prohibited of considering this operator for multiplication with non-scalar types are explained in the documentation of the EnableIfScalar class.

The return type of the function is chosen so that it matches the types of both the tensor and the scalar argument. For example, if you multiply a SymmetricTensor<2,dim,double> by std::complex<double>, then the result will be a SymmetricTensor<2,dim,std::complex<double>>. In other words, the type with which the returned tensor stores its components equals the type you would get if you multiplied an individual component of the input tensor by the scalar factor.

Compute the scalar product \(\mathbf A: \mathbf B=\sum_{i,j} A_{ij}B_{ij}\) between two tensors \(\mathbf A, \mathbf B\) of rank 2. In the current case where both arguments are symmetric tensors, this is equivalent to calling the expression A*B which uses SymmetricTensor::operator*().

Compute the scalar product \(\mathbf A: \mathbf B=\sum_{i,j} A_{ij}B_{ij}\) between two tensors \(\mathbf A, \mathbf B\) of rank 2. We don't use operator* for this operation since the product between two tensors is usually assumed to be the contraction over the last index of the first tensor and the first index of the second tensor. For example, if B is a Tensor, calling A*B (instead of scalar_product(A,B)) provides \((\mathbf A \cdot\mathbf B)_{ij}=\sum_k A_{ik}B_{kj}\).

Double contraction between a rank-4 and a rank-2 symmetric tensor, resulting in the symmetric tensor of rank 2 that is given as first argument to this function. This operation is the symmetric tensor analogon of a matrix-vector multiplication.

This function does the same as SymmetricTensor::operator*(). It should not be used, however, since the member operator has knowledge of the actual data storage format and is at least 2 orders of magnitude faster. This function mostly exists for compatibility purposes with the general Tensor class.

The dot product (single contraction) for tensors: Return a tensor of rank \((\text{rank}_1 + \text{rank}_2 - 2)\) that is the contraction of the last index of a tensor src1 of rank rank_1 with the first index of a tensor src2 of rank rank_2:

\[ \text{result}_{i_1,\ldots,i_{r1},j_1,\ldots,j_{r2}} = \sum_{k} \text{left}_{i_1,\ldots,i_{r1}, k} \text{right}_{k, j_1,\ldots,j_{r2}} \]

Provide a way to get the dimension of an object without explicit knowledge of it's data type. Implementation is this way instead of providing a function dimension() because now it is possible to get the dimension at compile time without the expansion and preevaluation of an inlined function; the compiler may therefore produce more efficient code and you may use this value to declare other data types.
