I'm currently working through the symmetry of the stress tensor, in relation to viscous flow. I am looking at this by examining the conservation of angular momentum equation for a material volume V(t) with unit normal →n=(n1,n2,n3). I am having issue with applying the divergence theorem to this term
∫∫δV(t)→x×→tdS
Where →x=(x1,x2,x3) and →t is the stress vector where →t=→eiσijnj, using the summation convenction, where σij is stress vector.
If I can extract a normal from this expression I can use the divergence theorem to convert to a volume integral and combine with the other terms of the conservation of angular momentum equation, which are volume integrals, this will lead to showing σij=σji.
