Aims and Scope of the Series
The fundamental questions arising in mechanics are: Why?, How?,andHow 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.
