russell_tensor: Tensor analysis, calculus, and functions for continuum mechanics

Important: This crate depends on external libraries (non-Rust). Thus, please check the Installation Instructions on the GitHub Repository.

§Introduction

This library implements structures and functions for tensor analysis and calculus, with focus on applications in engineering and Continuum Mechanics. The essential functionality for the targeted applications includes first-order, second-order, third-order, and fourth-order tensors, scalar “invariants,” and derivatives.

§Capabilities

Tensor1 — First-order tensors (vectors) in R³. Includes operations such as the dot and cross products
Tensor2 — Second-order tensors in R³×R³. Allows symmetric specialization. Includes functions such as the determinant, inverse, norm, and invariants (principal, deviatoric, Lode, octahedral, …)
Tensor3 — Third-order tensors R³×R³×R³. Allows minor-symmetric specialization. Includes functions such as permutation (Levi-Civita) tensor
Tensor4 — Fourth-order tensors R³×R³×R³×R³. Allows minor-symmetric specialization. Includes functions to generate isotropic tensors.
EigenValuesT2, EigenProjsT2, EigenProjDerivsT2 — Eigenvalues, eigenprojectors, and the derivatives of the eigenprojectors for symmetric second-order tensors.
LinElasticity — The linear elasticity equations for small-strain problems (Generalized Hooke’s law)
analysis::PiezoDatabase — A database of piezoelectric materials (dielectric permittivity, piezoelectric, and stiffness tensors) loaded from JSON.
Polar decomposition — Computes the polar decomposition F = R U = V R of a general Tensor2 using the classic Eigen/SVD algorithms, the iterative Brannon algorithm, or the quaternion-based Higham & Noferini algorithm (see PolarAlgo and polar_decomp_mx).
Constants — Includes identity, transposition, and projector tensors, as well as the ADD/SET operation selectors.
Operations between tensors — Includes addition, single and double contractions (dot and ddot), and dyadic products. Most operations support both overwriting (SET) and accumulation (ADD) semantics.
Derivatives — Implements first and second derivatives of invariants and tensor functions (e.g., the inverse and squared tensors)
Display — The tensors implement the Display trait (with configurable precision) and provide a scientific method returning a scientific-notation string for printing or logging.

§Kelvin-Mandel notation

Internally, tensors are stored in the Kelvin-Mandel basis (Kelvin-Mandel notation).

In the Kelvin-Mandel basis, a second-order tensor is mapped to a column matrix (vector), a third-order tensor is mapped to a rectangular matrix, and a fourth-order tensor is mapped to a square matrix. The √2 factors make the mapping isometric; thus the tensor norm is preserved and standard matrix/vector operations can be used directly.

The dimension — the const generic N of Tensor2/Tensor4, and M/N of Tensor3 — selects the representation:

9 — all components (general): 9×1 / 9×3 / 3×9 / 9×9
6 — symmetric Tensor2 / minor-symmetric Tensor3/Tensor4: 6×1 / 6×3 / 3×6 / 6×6
4 — symmetric Tensor2 / minor-symmetric Tensor3/Tensor4 (generalized plane): 4×1 / 4×3 / 3×4 / 4×4

The dimensions above correspond to Tensor2 (vector), Tensor3 (Case A / Case B rectangular matrix), and Tensor4 (square matrix), respectively.

§Reduced dimension and truncation (chop) strategy

The N = 4 case is the four-dimensional subspace {00, 11, 22, 01} of symmetric tensors—the out-of-plane normal component T₂₂ is kept, while only the out-of-plane shears are set to zero (T₁₂ = T₀₂ = 0, Kelvin-Mandel components 4 and 5).

The tensor operators considered here (e.g., ssd_fn, qsd_fn, and the second derivatives of the invariants) are polynomial in the components, and for an input in this subspace they are block diagonal with respect to the {0,1,2,3} and {4,5} partitions: every off-diagonal block is proportional to the (zero) out-of-plane shears. Consequently, restricting both the input and the output to N components is exact — not an approximation: the reduced N × N operator is precisely the corresponding block of the full 6 × 6 operator.

A Tensor3 is stored as a rectangular Kelvin-Mandel matrix with dimensions (M, N) set by const generics. Two cases are considered, where DIM (the leading dimension) is one of 4, 6, or 9:

Case A (DIM, 3) — M = DIM, N = 3: the Tensor3 acts on a Tensor1 (vector) yielding a Tensor2 (T = H · u)
Case B (3, DIM) — M = 3, N = DIM: the Tensor3 acts on a Tensor2 yielding a Tensor1 (vector) (v = M : S)

§Standard vs Kelvin-Mandel components

The tensor accessors follow a naming convention that distinguishes the standard (Cartesian) components Tᵢⱼ / Hᵢⱼₖ / Dᵢⱼₖₗ from the Kelvin-Mandel components stored internally:

Accessors dealing with standard components carry the std qualifier in their names:
Accessors dealing directly with the Kelvin-Mandel components carry no qualifier:
- Tensor2 — Tensor2::get, Tensor2::set, [Tensor2::set_vector], Tensor2::set_tensor, Tensor2::update, Tensor2::clear
- Tensor3 — Tensor3::get, Tensor3::set, Tensor3::set_tensor, Tensor3::update
- Tensor4 — Tensor4::get, Tensor4::set, Tensor4::set_tensor, Tensor4::update

Note: Tensor1 stores the three standard components directly (there is no Kelvin-Mandel mapping for first-order tensors); access them with Tensor1::get and Tensor1::set.

§Optional features

The following (Rust) features are available:

intel_mkl — use Intel MKL instead of OpenBLAS

§Examples

use russell_tensor::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), StrError> {
    // Allocate a symmetric second-order tensor given the standard components
    let a = Tensor2::<6>::from_std_matrix(&[
        [1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
        [2.0, 2.0, 4.0],
        [3.0, 4.0, 3.0],
    ])?;

    // Compute the principal invariants
    let ii1 = a.invariant_ii1();
    let ii2 = a.invariant_ii2();
    let ii3 = a.invariant_ii3();

    println!("I1 = {:.6}", ii1);
    println!("I2 = {:.6}", ii2);
    println!("I3 = {:.6}", ii3);
    Ok(())
}
