δil ϵijk ϵlmn = δil [δil (δjm δkn − δjn δkm ) + δim (δjn δkl − δjl δkn ) + δin (δjl δkm − δjm δkl )]
δil ϵijk ϵlmn = δil [δil δjm δkn − δil δjn δkm + δim δjn δkl − δim δjl δkn + δin δjl δkm − δin δjm δkl ]
δil ϵijk ϵlmn = δil δil δjm δkn − δil δil δjn δkm + δil δim δjn δkl − δil δim δjl δkn + δil δin δjl δkm − δil δin δjm δkl
ϵijk ϵimn = δii δjm δkn − δii δjn δkm + δlm δjn δkl − δlm δjl δkn + δln δjl δkm − δln δjm δkl
ϵijk ϵimn = 3 δjm δkn − 3 δjn δkm + δjn δkm − δjm δkn + δjn δkm − δjm δkn
ϵijk ϵimn = 3 δjm δkn − 3 δjn δkm + 2 δjn δkm − 2 δjm δkn
3. Show that
= δmj δnk uj,n vk − δmk δnj uj,n vk + δmj δnk uj vk,n − δmk δnj uj vk,n
4. We've done the simpler version of this in class. This time, invert Hooke's Law for strain as a function of stress, to
get stress as a function of strain, but with thermal expansion thrown into the mix.

Solve for σ ij
Multiply thru by δ ij
(1 + ν)δij σij = E δij ϵij − δij δij E α(T − Tref ) + δij δij ν σkk
Simplify
