Mechanics of deformable solids
Book Notes place and Fourier transformations. Problems are presented to stimulate the reader to “work” through the theory, and to investigate basic concepts from several points of view. The material may be applicable to everyday problems facing the engineer or the physicist.
MODERN MATERTALS: Advances in Development and Applications, Volume IV, edited by B. W. Gonser and H. H. Hausner. 420 pages, diagrams, illustrations, 6 X 9 in. New York, Academic Press, Inc., 1964. Price, $15.00. This is Volume IV in a series on Modem Materials, published in cooperation with the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Administrative Committee on Research. The subjects covered are physical properties and the recent developments of carbon and graphite ; the effects of radiation on materials ; materials for plain bearings and solid lubricants ; and highstrength constructional alloy steels. Author and subject indexes are provided at the end of the volume. MECHANICSOF DEFORKUKE SOLID& by I. H. Shames. 532 pages, diagrams, illustrations, 6 X 9 in. Englewood Cliffs, N. J., PrenticeHall, Inc., 1964, Price, $11.95. This book on deformable solids, written in two parts, features Cartesian tensor treatment from the continuum point of view leading to and including strength of materials. Part I presents the fundamentals of elasticity, and Part II covers beams, shafts and columns. The practising engineer will fmd this book useful to update his knowledge of continuuum mechanics, Cartesian tensor notation, singularity functions and strength of materials. It will also serve as a basic text for civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering science programs.
SERVOMECHANISMFUND~NTALS AND ExPEEIMENTS, Staff, Philco Technological Center. 248 pages, diagrams, illustrations, 62 X 9Q in. Englewood Cliffs, N. J., Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1964. Price, $10.60. Prepared by the staff of Philco Teolmological Center to meet an increasing demand for trained personnel in the electronics field, this book offers a comprehensive coverage of the operation, concepts and maintenance of synchro and servo systems. The first three chapters are devoted to synchros, encompassing the areas of components, systems and trouble shooting. The following chapters present material on servos in the area of fundamental principles, amplifiers, servo motors and rate generators, representative servomechanisms, and measurement and mainbnance techniques. A separate quiz ends each chapter, and the bibliography and glossary of synchro and servo terms will further aid the reader.
FUM~T~ONSOF A COMPLEXVAR.IABLE,by Gino Moretti. 456 pages, diagrams, 6 X 9 in. Englewood Cliffs, N. J., Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1964. Price, $12.00. Written informally, this guide provides an understanding of the mathematics of complex variables. Starting with elementary definitions, it covers all levels of the theory and its related topios such as Delta-function, Jacobian elliptic functions, Bessel functions, functions derived by data given on a contour, Fourier series, conformal mapping and La-

HraE SPEED TESTING, VOLUP~EIV, edited by Albert G. H. Diets and Frederick R. Eirich. 306 pages, diagrams, illustrations, 64 X 10 in. New York, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Interscience Div., 1964. Price, $12.80 @aper). The eighteen contributions comprising this volume are the proceedings of the Fourth Annual Symposium on High Speed Testing, held in Boston during May 1963. Some of the topics covered are the effect of temperature on tensile properties of double base propellant; stress relaxation and hysteresis at various strain rates; testing of elastomer mountings; high speed tensile behavior in styrene polyblend systems ; rapid bursting of tybular specimens; tensile properties of textile yarns.
