it follows (by No. 108) that

156. It will be sufficient to indicate (without demonstration) the forms of dyadics which belong to the particular cases which have been passed over in the preceding paragraph, so far as they present any notable peculiarities.
If
(page 72), the dyadic may be reduced to the form

where
are three non-complanar vectors,
their reciprocals, and
positive or negative scalars. The effect of this as an operator, will be evident if we resolve it into the three homologous factors

|
The displacement due to the last factor may be called a simple shear. It consists (when the dyadic is used as pref actor) of a motion parallel to
and proportioned to the distance from the
plane. This factor may be called a shearer.
This dyadic is homologous with such as are obtained by varying the values of
and only with such, when the values of

are different, and that of
other than zero.
157. If the planar
(page 71) has perpendicular planes, there may be another value of
of the same sign as
which will give a planar which has not perpendicular planes. When this is not the case, the dyadic may always be reduced to the form

where
are three non-complanar vectors,
their reciprocals, and
positive or negative scalars. This may be resolved into the homologous factors
and

The displacement due to the last factor may be called a complex shear. It consists (when the dyadic is used as prefactor) of a motion parallel to a which is proportional to the distance from the
plane, together with a motion parallel to
which is proportional to the distance from the
plane. This factor may be called a complex shearer.
