„The book is well written and includes numerical examples at the end of each chapter. The book will be useful to teachers, students and researchers.“
Girish Kumar Ramaiah in: Zentralblatt MATH 1406.74001
„In summary, this book will be of interest to researchers in theoretical and computational solid mechanics. It is perhaps less appropriate for a crystallography audience.“

Dynamics of Solid Structures
Methods using Integrodifferential Relations
von Georgy Viktorovich Kostin und Vasily V. SaurinThis monograph covers new variational and projection methods to study the dynamics within solid structures. To cope with the underlying initial-boundary value problems, the method of integrodifferential relations is employed. Applications and examples in physics, mechanics and control engineering range from natural vibrations or forced motions of elastic and viscoelastic bodies to heat and mass transfer processes.
