Einleitung

The main intent of the book is to provide a synthesis between classical matrix and tensor methods on the one hand and modern software technology on the other. For this purpose, the approach is used to develop a consistent method concept with the help of object-oriented methods, by which the theoretical modeling fundamentals of mechanics can be seamlessly converted into numerical computation programs for the solution of technical problems, without having to overcome methodological breaks in subareas. A classic example of this is the symbolic notation of the tensor and matrix calculus with its complex syntax and semantics, which appears to be less suitable for direct implementation in computer algorithms.
