The Lagrangian finite strain tensor is defined as:
[tex]E_{i,j}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial x_k}{\partial X_i}\frac{\partial x_k}{\partial X_j}-\delta _{i,j}\right)[/tex]
Is it in Einstein Notation so that there is a summation symbol missing, i.e. would it be the same thing if one wrote it as:
[tex]E_{i,j}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\sum _k \left(\frac{\partial x_k}{\partial X_i}\frac{\partial x_k}{\partial X_j}\right)-\delta _{i,j}\right)[/tex]
It's that there is too many indices in mechanics, and it always gets me confused. Thanks a lot!
