Series on Advances in Mathematics for Applied Sciences - Vol. 26

RECENT ADVANCES IN ELASTICITY, VISCOELASTICITY AND INELASTICITY
Festschrift Volume for Prof Tse-Chien Woo on the Occasion of his Seventieth Birthday

edited by K R Rajagopal (Univ. Pittsburgh)

This is a collection of papers dedicated to Prof T C Woo to mark his 70th birthday. The papers focus on recent advances in elasticity, viscoelasticity and inelasticity, which are related to Prof Woo's work. Prof Woo's recent work concentrates on the viscoelastic and viscoplastic response of metals and plastics when thermal effects are significant, and the papers here address open questions in these and related areas.
