{wiki=Voigt_notation}
Voigt notation is a mathematical notation used in the field of continuum mechanics, particularly in the study of elasticity and the representation of stress and strain tensors. It serves to simplify the representation of these tensors by reducing their dimensionality. In three-dimensional space, both the stress and strain tensors are represented as \\(3 \\times 3\\) matrices.
