Abstract

The fundamental questions arising in mechanics are: Why?, How?,and How much? The aim of this series is to provide lucid accounts written by authoritative research- ers giving vision and insight in answering these questions on the subject of mech- anics as it relates to solids. The scope of the series covers the entire spectrum of solid mechanics. Thus it in- cludes the foundation of mechanics; variational formulations; computational mech- anics; statics, kinematics and dynamics of rigid and elastic bodies: vibrations of solids and structures; dynamical systems and chaos; the theories of elasticity, plas- ticity and viscoelasticity; composite materials; rods, beams, shells and membranes; structural control and stability; soils, rocks and geomechanics; fracture; tribology; experimental mechanics; biomechanics and machine design. The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts are monographs defining the current state of the field; others are accessible to final year undergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity
