IEVref: 102-03-49 ID: Language: en Status: Standard Term: Kronecker tensor Synonym1: Synonym2: Synonym3: Symbol: Definition: tensor of the second order with components ${T}_{ij}={\delta }_{ij}$ where ${\delta }_{ij}$ is the Kronecker delta, equal to 1 if i = j and 0 if i ≠ jNote 1 to entry: The components of the Kronecker tensor are independent of the base used. The inner product of the Kronecker tensor and a tensor or a vector is equal to this tensor or vector. Note 2 to entry: When the properties of an anisotropic medium are represented at each point by a tensor quantity of the second order, this quantity reduces, in an isotropic medium, to the product of the Kronecker tensor and a scalar quantity. In practice, the quantity is then considered as a scalar quantity.
