Bibliography (Walley)ReviewsDodd and Bai wrote the 1992 first edition as an introduction to adiabatic shear bands. They figure they did a good job because the field has grown so huge that by the time they wanted to update their book, they needed to call specialists to cover various aspects. It remains an introduction, they say, but now to a thriving discipline. --Reference and Research Book News, December 2012 Dodd and Bai wrote the 1992 first edition as an introduction to adiabatic shear bands.
