Mnemonic Rule
An easy Mnemonic rule for memorizing Voigt notation is as follows:
- Write down the second order tensor in matrix form (in the Example the Stress Tensor)
- Strike out the diagonal
- Continue on the third column
- Go back to the first element along the first row.
Voigt indexes are numbered consecutively from the starting point to the end (in Example the numbers in blue).
