✦ Synopsis

This is a lengthy hardcover volume containing over 100 contributed papers presented at the recent International Conference on Computational Methods in Nonlinear Mechanics that was held in Austin at the University of Texas in September, 1974. The premise of the volume and of the Conference is that non-linear mechanics has still not been thoroughly penetrated by modern computational methods, and that by bringing together specialists in computational methods from diverse areas of mechanics, physics, and applied mathematics, the state of the subject could be summarized and the applicability of methods successful in one area on problems encountered in other areas might be assessed. The volume contains abstracts of twelve special lectures and twenty-three chapters. Chapter titles include General Numerical Methods I and 11, Shells, Hydrodynamics, Plasticity I, 11, and 111, Celestial Mechanics and Ordinary Differential Equations, Solid and Continuum Mechanics I and 11, Viscous Flow I and 11.
