Description
This treatise utilizes an intrinsic geometrical co-ordinate-free method to analyze mechanical structures. The method uses linear mappings defined on tangent planes of a bidimensional manifold whose interpretation by tensors is straightforward, but whose geometrical meaning is much easier.
