Overview
"Analyzes a wide range of problem classes originating in applied mechanics, stressing the use of influence (Green's) functions in their analysis. Provides an extensive list of influence functions and matrices-several in print for the first time. Addresses areas such as fluid flow, acoustics, electromagnetism, heat transfer, and elasticity."

Booknews
Wishing to popularize the use of influence (Green's) functions among students of engineering and applied sciences, the author demonstrates the function's uses in classical problems of applied mechanics, as well as problems related to fluid flow, acoustic, electromagnetism, heat transfer, and elasticity. Boundary value problems; bending, natural vibrations, stability, and contact problems for single- and multi-spanned Kirchhoff's beams; two dimensional problems of potential, and other problems are discussed. The author also provides a list of influence functions and matrices. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
