title: On the six-dimensional orthogonal tensor representation of the rotation in three dimensions: A simplified approach.
abstract: The six-dimensional orthogonal tensor representation of the rotation about an axis in three dimensions was first proposed by (Mehrabadi et al. 1995). In this brief note, a simple and coherent approach is presented to construct the six-dimensional orthogonal tensor representation of the rotation of any parametrization in three dimensions and to prove its orthogonality.
