tensor vector dot product in matlab

340 Views Asked by At

If $A$ is a second rank tensor like Cauchy stress tensor (I store it in a 3 by 3 matrix) and $v$ is a 3 by 1 vector,

  • How can I calculate dot product $A.v$ in Matlab? Can I simply write $A*v$ ?
  • What about if i want to calculate $A.B$, where $B$ is another rank 2 tensor, stored in a 3 by 3 matrix.

Thanks
