Contemporary research in engineering science (Q4367928)

[The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.] The book is a collection of papers which are written by specialists in the field and provide the state-of-the-art knowledge in many disciplines of engineering science such as computational mechanics, fracture mechanics, aging of aircrafts, fluid mechanics and structural analysis. The book contains 38 papers contributed by friends, colleagues, former doctoral and post doctoral students of Prof. Dr. \textit{Satya N. Atluri} to celebrate his receiving the Eringen Medal of the Society of Engineering Science at the 32nd Annual Technical Meeting held in New Orleans, US, October 29 -- November 1, 1995.
