Abstract

Two explicit representations are obtained for the Kronecker powers of orthogonal second-order tensors. The derivations rely on the mathematical properties of Kronecker products and on classical parametrizations of orthogonal tensors. These representations are subsequently employed in the systematic construction of structural tensors and in the analysis of corotational rates of tensor functions.
