Yes, conventionally, i, j, and k are dimensionless unit vectors pointing, respectively, in the +x, +y and +z directions. Aug 29, 2011 #3 1MileCrash 1,342 41 Alright, got it. Now I am asked for magnitude and direction of new vector. After adding these, I found magnitude to be...
The fact that matrices can be represented as a (non-linear) combination of standard basis unit vectors shows that matrices are not simply abstract entities used just for representing data, but also have a geometric interpretation. This paper then defines the natural product and explains its ...
Using homogeneous notation, a coordinate is represented by four valuesv=(vxvyvzvw)T, where a vector isv=(vxvyvz0)Tand a point isv=(vxvyvz1)T. Sometimes we use only three-element vectors and points, but we try to avoid anyambiguityas to which type is being used. For matrix manipulatio...
Geometric Representation of Vectors When it comes to visually depicting vectors, the geometric representation proves invaluable. In this method, an arrow serves as the symbol for the vector. The length of the arrow denotes the magnitude of the vector, and the direction of the vector is indicated...

For example, when you define ψ to be a vector it's not explicitly clear whether ψ is a row or a column vector. Thus, if ϕ and ψ are vectors, then it's equally unclear if ϕψ is even defined, because the shapes of ϕ and ψ may be unclear in the context. Beyond the ...
The vectors "1, 0, 0", "0, 1, 0" and "0, 0, 1" form the basis: the vectors that we measure things against.In this case they are simple unit vectors, but any set of vectors can be used when they are independent of each other (being at right angles achieves this) and can ...
The summation convention (also known as Einstein's convention) helps to reduce the size and complexity of the equations even more. This rule says that whenever an index appears twice in a term then that index is to be summed from1to3. For example, consider the dot product of two vectorsu...
awhere the matrix notation u, and b are vectors of generalized displacements, strains, stresses, and body forces; L, D, and A stand for differential operator matrix, constitutive coefficient matrix, and transformation matrix, respectively, including the components of the external normal unit vector...
The fth squared singular value (sf) is the same as the fth eigenvalue (λf) in Equation (27) and so the unit normalized pf (standardized eigenvectors) can be determined. The pf loadings vectors are orthonormal to each other piTpj=0fori≠j,piTpj=1fori=j. The λf reveal the percent...
