About this book

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline borne of the needs of the industrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face profound issues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering solu­ tions, among others. The Mechanical Engineering Series features graduate texts and research monographs intended to address the need for informa­ tion in contemporary areas of mechanical engineering. The series is conceived as a comprehensive one that covers a broad range of concentrations important to mechanical engineering graduate education and research. We are fortunate to have a distinguished roster of consult­ ing editors on the advisory board, each an expert in one of the areas of concentration. The names of the consulting editors are listed on the next page of this volume. The areas of concentration are: applied mechanics; biomechanics; computational mechanics; dynamic systems and control; energetics; mechanics of materials; processing; thermal science; and tribology.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is a very well written book. … The authors have successfully accomplished their stated purpose of setting down concrete examples dealing with surface mechanics and of providing analytical tools relevant to quantitative study of surface mechanics. … Fundamentals of Surface Mechanics with Applications is a valuable resource for both researchers and students in solid mechanics. It is recommended for libraries of educational institutions with a program in engineering and research institutions where research in solid mechanics is carried out." (P. Puri, Applied Mechanics Reviews, Vol. 56 (3), 2003)

"This book deals with the effects of moving thermal or mechanical loads on the surface of a continuum or the interfaces of layers of continua. … This text … allows the reader to gain full confidence in the techniques before turning to the problems of moving loads and to the methods using integral transforms. … Intended for graduate students of mechanics and mechanical engineering, the book will also be of interest to applied mathematicians and other interested in tribology." (European Journal of Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 47 (4), 2002/2003)
