His topics include basis vectors and scale factors, contravarient components and transformations, metric tensor operation on tensor indices,
Cartesian tensor transformation--rotations, and a collection of relations for selected coordinate systems.

Then the normal component of the
Cartesian tensor [sigma] on that plane is, using the summation convention over repeated indices:
Snider explains the Irreducible
Cartesian Tensor model that he and J.
Coverage includes the basic operations of vectors, matrices,
Cartesian tensors, domain and boundary surface integrals, kinematics, kinetics, linear elasticity, and Newtonian fluid mechanics, followed by chapters on curvilinear, nonlinear, electromagnetic, and differential geometry continuum.
As the text progresses, the author uses
Cartesian tensors to develop the theory of thermo-elasticity, the theory of generalized plane stress, and complex variable analysis.
A big advantage of co-rotational constitutive equations is that only
Cartesian tensors are used.
First, he deals with invariant modeling of flight dynamics, laying out the mathematical foundations of modeling with
Cartesian tensors, matrices, and coordinate systems.
