Summary

A complete description of homogenous and isotropic tensor-valued random fields in terms of one- and two-point correlation functions of ranks 1 through 4. Including the problems of continuum physics, necessary mathematical tools and applications, this book is invaluable for researchers in continuum physics from mathematic or physics backgrounds.
