About this document

Strain and Rotation Tensors Explained by ThiruPaths is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document summarizes key concepts about strain and rotation tensors from a lecture on tectonic geodesy. It defines strain and rotation tensors mathematically as the sum of derivatives of displacement. Strain is a symmetric tensor with 6 independent components, while rotation is anti-symmetric with 3 independent components. The document shows how to estimate strain and rotation from GPS data by relating displacements to the tensor components and position. It provides an example of using a deforming block
