The proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Anisotropy, Inhomogeneity and Nonlinearity in Solid Mechanics contains 69 papers by acknowledged experts covering recent research in this field of solid mechanics. The material has been grouped into eight sections: Characterisation of Anisotropic Materials; Large Deformations and Flow; Numerical Studies in Plasticity; Plasticity and Granular Materials; Fracture and Damage; Anisotropic Media; Composite Materials; Waves and Vibrations. Individual papers cover analytical methods, experimental and/or numerical techniques which may be applied to static or dynamic problems for anisotropic media. Audience: Those engaged in developing, modelling and testing modern composite, laminated or inhomogeneous materials will find their current problems discussed by experts. Booknews Addressed to researchers in theoretical and applied solid mechanics, particularly addressing current static and dynamic problems encountered by those engaged in developing, modelling, and testing modern composite, laminated, or inhomogeneous materials. The 69 papers cover the characterization of anisotropic materials, large deformations and flow, numerical studies in plasticity, plasticity and granular materials, fracture and damage, anisotropic media, composite materials, and waves and vibrations.
