Question

edit

Let   and   be two second-order tensor fields. Let the average of any second-order tensor field ( ) over the region   (of volume  ) be defined as

 

Show that

 

Proof

Expanding out the right hand side, we have

 

Now   and   are constants with respect to the integration. Hence,

 

Therefore,
