Appendix B

Transformation of Field Variables Between Cartesian, Cylindrical, and Spherical Components

This appendix contains some three-dimensional transformation relations between displacement and stress components in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates. The coordinate systems are shown in Figure A-1 in Appendix A, and the related stress components are illustrated in Figure B-1. These results follow from the general transformation laws (1.5.1) and (3.3.3). Note that the stress results can also be applied for strain transformation.
