Tensor analysis is a mathematical tool used to describe the stress and strain tensors in continuum mechanics. A tensor is a mathematical object that describes a linear relationship between sets of geometric objects, such as vectors and scalars.
Curiosity won.
The mathematical framework of continuum mechanics is based on the following fundamental equations: Fung-a first course in continuum mechanics.pdf
