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.

Constitutive equations describe the relationship between the stress and strain of the medium. These equations are based on the material properties of the medium and are used to predict the behavior of the medium under different types of loading. Fung-a first course in continuum mechanics.pdf
