Written for graduate students, professors, and researchers in the areas of elasticity and shell theories, this text contains a comprehensive account of tensor calculus (in both holonomic and anholonomic coordinate systems). It is based on transformations of bases of vector spaces rather than on transformations of coordinates, since the latter are not always available. It also establishes a theory of physical and anholonomic components of tensors and applies the theory of dimensional analysis to tensors and (anholonomic) ...

It is based on transformations of bases of vector spaces rather than on transformations of coordinates, since the latter are not always available. It also establishes a theory of physical and anholonomic components of tensors and applies the theory of dimensional analysis to tensors and (anholonomic) connections.
