* Atanackovic has good track record with Birkhauser: his "Theory of Elasticity" book (4072-X) has been well reviewed.Â
* Current text has received two excellent pre-pub reviews.Â
* May be used as textbook in advanced undergrad/beginning grad advanced dynamics courses in engineering, physics, applied math departments.Â
*Also useful as self-study reference for researchers and practitioners.Â
* Many examples and novel applications throughout. Competitive literature---Meirovich, Goldstein---is outdated and does not include the synthesis of topics presented here.
