It's an impressive piece of work. It covers an immense amount of material and is well written. -James R. Barber, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA A valuable treatise in mechanics of solids. -David L. McDowell, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA This book is great for materials science and engineering students who are interested in both classic and state-of-the-art materials research. With both in-depth discussion and authoritative summary, it will be widely used in teaching and research in theoretical and computational mechanics of materials. -Yanfei Gao, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA

Author Information

Allan Bower is a professor of engineering at Brown University, where he teaches in the undergraduate mechanical engineering program and the graduate program in mechanics of solids. He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Cambridge and spent a short period on the faculty at Cambridge before joining Brown in 1992. His research involves developing and using computer simulations to model deformation and failure in materials. Applications of interest include modeling wear, plasticity, and contact fatigue between contacting surfaces; fracture in composites and ceramics; and mechanical failure processes in microelectronic circuits.
