If you are seriously working with tensors and you know what you are
doing with them (meaning: you know differential geometry), you should
try xAct (free package suite) or Tensorial (low-cost-high quality
David Park's package with examples from continuous mechanics too) or
TContinuumMechanics2 (a package by Jean-Fran=E7ois Gouyet that adds
additional commands to Tensorial 4.0 for working in continuum
mechanics)
Worth mentioning is also the book: Continuum-Mechanics-using-
Mathematica
