Overview: Modern Solid Mechanics considers phenomena at many levels,ranging from nano size at atomic scale through the continuum level atmillimeter size to large structures at the tens of meter scale. Thedeformation and fracture behavior at these various scales areinextricably related to interdisciplinary methods derived from appliedmathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering mechanics. This book,in honor of James R. Rice, contains articles from his colleagues andformer students that bring these sophisticated methods to bear on awide range of problems. Articles discussing problems of defo

Overview: Dieses Buch (es ist aus Vorlesungen und Vorträgen entstanden, die die Verfasser an der ETH, Zürich, an der Universität Texas in Austin und anderswo gehalten haben) möchte eine Einführung in die Mittelwertmethode bei gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichungssystemen geben, die auch neueren Ent­ wicklungen Rechnung trägt.

Overview: Five years ago, the worldwide powder metallurgy fraternity gathered in New York City to attend the first international conference devoted entirely to powder metal­ lurgy to take place in the United States. It was a tentative venture, entered into by the sponsors with no idea as to whether it would fail or succeed. The only assurances we had were that the metal-powder producing and consuming industries were rapidly expanding and that powder metallurgy was truly becoming one of the international sciences. The 1960 Conference was successful not only in terms of attendance and interest,

Overview: Content and Aims of this Book Earlier drafts of the manuscript of this book (James A. Boa was then coau­ thor) contained discussions of many methods and examples of singular perturba­ tion problems. The ambitious plans of covering a large number of topics were later abandoned in favor of the present goal: a thorough discussion of selected ideas and techniques used in the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Thus many problems and methods are not covered here: the method of av­ eraging and the related method of multiple scales are mentioned mainly to give reasons why they are not
