Tensor AnalysisAuthor(s): Fridtjov Irgens\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\nISBN-13: 9783030034115, 978-3030034115\nSynopsis\nThis book presents tensors and tensor analysis as primary mathematical tools for engineering and engineering science students and researchers. The discussion is based on the concepts of vectors and vector analysis in three-dimensional Euclidean space, and although it takes the subject matter to an advanced level, the book starts with elementary geometrical vector algebra so that it is suitable as a first introduction to tensors and tensor analysis. Each chapter includes a number of problems for readers to solve, and solutions are provided in an Appendix at the end of the text.\n\nChapter 1 introduces the necessary mathematical foundations for the chapters that follow, while Chapter 2 presents the equations of motions for bodies of continuous material. Chapter 3 offers a general d.
