摘要
Second-order tensors are widely existed in engineering,physical science and biomechanics. Examples arestresses and strains in solids and velocity gradients in fluid flows. This paper takes the Boussinesq' s problem as an ex-ample which is typical in Elasticity Mechanics ,and visualizes the second-order real symmetric tensor fields by ellipsoidicons and hyperStreamlines. The results are reasonable. The visualization methods adopted in this paper are also suit-able for other second-order symmetric tensor fields such as electromagnetic field.
