文档介绍：Methods for Materials and StructuresAdvances in Mathematical Modeling and ExperimentalSOLID MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONSSeries Editor: . GLADWELLDepartment of Civil EngineeringUniversity of WaterlooWaterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3GIAims and Scope of the SeriesThe fundamental questions arising in mechanics are:Why?,How?,andHow much?The aim of this series is to provide ounts written by authoritative research-ers giving vision and insight in answering these questions on the subject of mech-anics as it relates to 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 ofsolids 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 median level of presentation is the ?rst year graduate student. Some texts aremonographs de?ning the current state of the ?eld; others are accessible to ?nal yearundergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and other titles published in this series, go toies/6557Volume 168?Rivka GilatAdvances in MathematicalModeling and ExperimentalMethods for Materials andStructuresThe Jacob Aboudi Volume123Leslie Banks-SillsNo part of this work may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmittedin any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, micro?lming, recordingor otherwise, without written permissionfrom the Publisher,with the exceptionof any material supplied speci?cally for the purpose of being enteredand executed on puter system, for exclusive use by the purchaser of the on acid-free paperSpringer is part of Springer Science+Busine
