The Collected Papers of Raymond D. Mindlin

This book brings together all the research work of a renowned pioneer of engineering science. Many of the papers explore fundamental problems and some are seminal productions that have opened up entire new fields of active research. The good news is that this corpus, hitherto scattered in several dozen journals and hard-to-find conference and symposia proceedings, is now accessible to the interested reader. Workers and advanced students in elasticity, stress-wave propagation, crystal vibrations, frequency control, the mechanics of structured materials, elastic dielectrics, and lattice mechanics will find in this volume a treasury of methods and results not readily available elsewhere, and teachers will be able to use several of the comprehensive articles as texts for advanced courses in their fields.
