张量

In general, fluxes and forces may have different tensorial characters.

一般说来， 力和通量可以具有不同的张量特征标。

Quantities like stresses are called tensors of rank 2.

类似于压力的量称为2阶的张量。

This means that constitutive equations must be framed in tensor language.

这意味着建立本构方程必须采用张量符号。

Tensors of this kind are called antimetric or skew - symmetric.

这类张量叫做反对称张量或斜对称张量。

When this tensor vanishes, the space is calleda flat.

当这一张量为零时，空间叫做平直空间。
