Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention the symposium:
"CHARACTERIZATION AND IMAGING OF STRUCTURAL AND MATERIAL IMPERFECTIONS"
that we are organizing at the SES 50th Annual Technical Meeting/ASME-AMD Summer Meeting to be held at Brown University in Providence, RI during July 28-31, 2013.
Tensors
These notes may serve as a reminder of tensor algebra. The notes supplement the course on advanced elasticity. Several books are listed at the end of the notes.
Update on 17 April. I am now breaking up the notes on tensors, cleaning them up, and posting them as sections on linear algebra.
