Question

What do you mean by a tensor quantity? Give suitable examples.

Answer 1

Answer:

A tensor is a quantity, for example a stress or a strain, which has magnitude, direction, and a plane in which it acts. Stress and strain are both tensor quantities. In real engineering components, stress and strain are 3-D tensors.

Explanation:

An example is the stress on a material, such as a construction beam in a bridge. Other examples of tensors include the strain tensor, the conductivity tensor, and the inertia tensor.
