Abstract
Some of the circumstances in which invariance problems arise in continuum mechanics are described elsewhere in this book. In Chapters 8 and 9 we consider the purely algebraic problem of determining systems of polynomial invariants and tensor polynomial functions for a given set of vectors and tensors, for some of the transformation groups which are of importance in continuum mechanics.
