Description
Book SynopsisThis book is intended for mechanicians, engineering mathematicians, and, generally for theoretically inclined mechanical engineers. I did not think that the surface of the problem had even been scratched, so I joined de Pater, who had by then become Professor in the Engineering Mechanics Lab.
Trade Review` This book clearly reflects such twofold remarkable expertise of the author and is recommended to all research workers in the title area.
