Yes , strain is a tensor quantity. Tensor is just a mathematical law and way of representing components in space. A scalar is tensor of rank 0, a vector is tensor of rank 1, 2 vectors can be a tensor of rank 2 , etc. If at any point of body , stress is acting and deformation is there, it will deformRead more

Tensor is just a mathematical law and way of representing components in space. A scalar is tensor of rank 0, a vector is tensor of rank 1, 2 vectors can be a tensor of rank 2 , etc.
If at any point of body , stress is acting and deformation is there, it will deform in a direction and there will be a basis for this.
So strain is produced in every direction (although isotropic or anisotropic conditions can be there) and hence we can represent it’s components and basis as tensor representation.
