On the algebra of two-point tensors and their applications. (English) Zbl 0894.15017

The authors point out that the definition of the transpose of two-point tensors of F. G. Kollmann and H.-P. Hackenberg [Z. Angew. Math. Mech. 73, No. 11, 307-314 (1993; Zbl 0793.15021)] is well known in the mathematical literature, and is called the adjoint of two-point tensors. A short discussion on the use of the adjoint of two-point tensors in nonlinear continuum mechanics is also provided.
