Electrorheological Fluids and Magnetorheological Suspensions
Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference
Nice, France 9 - 13 July 2001
edited by G Bossis
"This is an exceptionally documented proceedings, with many
formulations, design ideas for applications, material properties, and
characteristics that are clearly revealed. Any researcher involved with
ER/MR fluids would find this book to be an excellent reference for design
ideas and material properties of ER/MR fluids."

Dislocation Based Fracture Mechanics
by Johannes Weertman
"This book is notable in that it is the only one written that provides an
account of the dislocation foundation of fracture mechanics and
presents solutions for cracks in elasto-plastic solids ... its presentation
is clear enough to be accessible to graduate students, and it is highly
recommended to researchers and practicing engineers."
