MECHANICS OF SOLIDS AND MATERIALS
Mechanics of Solids and Materials intends to provide a modern and integrated treat-
ment of the foundations of solid mechanics as applied to the mathematical description
of material behavior. The book blends both innovative topics (., large strain, strain
rate, temperature, time-dependent deformation and localized plastic deformation in
crystalline solids, and deformation of works) and traditional topics (.,
elastic theory of torsion, elastic beam and plate theories, and contact mechanics) in a
coherent theoretical framework. This, and the extensive use of transform methods to
generate solutions, makes the book of interest to structural, mechanical, materials, and
aerospace engineers. Plasticity theories, micromechanics, crystal plasticity, thin films,
energetics of elastic systems, and an overall review of continuum mechanics and ther-
modynamics are also covered in the book.
Robert J. Asaro was awarded his PhD in materials science with distinction from Stanford
University in 1972. He was a professor of engineering at Brown University from 1975
to 1989, and has been a professor of engineering at the University of California, San
Diego since 1989. Dr. Asaro has led programs involved with the design, fabrication, and
full-scale structural testing of posite structures, including high-performance
ships and marine civil structures. His list of publications includes more than 170 research
papers in the leading professional journals and conference proceedings. He received the
NSF Special Creativity Award for his research in 1983 and 1987. Dr. Asaro also received
the TMS Champion H. Mathewson Gold Medal in 1991. He has made fundamental
contributions to the theory of crystal plasticity, the analysis of surface instabilities, and
dislocation theory. He served as a founding member of the mittee for
NSF’s Office o
