Structure, Solid Mechanics and Engineering Design Proceedings of the Southampton 1969 Civil Engineering Materials Conjerence. Edited by M. Te'eni, published by Wiley-Interscience, 1971; two parts, 1445 pages. The almost 1500 large-size pages are a treasure trove of 106 papers plus extensive discussion on materials science and engineering. What makes the collection unique and exceedingly helpful, even now some 3 years after the conference in Southampton, is its focus on materials of prime importance in civil engineering practice. The sessions following the introductory lectures on "Deformational modes and microstructure" by T. Mura and J. Dundurs, "Fracture in different microstructures" by D. McLean and "Analysis of real structures for creep, plasticity, and other complex constitutive laws" by O. C. Ziekiewicz and S. Valliappan covered In-
Mater. Sci. Eng., l0 (1972)
ternal structure and micromechanics, Theoretical rheology, Deformational characteristics and creep phenomena in material systems, Failure theories and design criteria, and Application to engineering design. Attention was directed primarily but not exclusively to soil, rock, concrete and similar granular media, timber, and fiber reinforced structural materials. The variability of properties was taken into account over the scale of dimensions from the electron microscope to full size civil engineering structures. An indication of the authoritative and wide ranging nature of the papers and discussion requires a reading of the complete table of contents. Some flavor is provided by a listing of the Chairmen and Rapporteurs who also presented papers and ideas of their own : A. Kelly, D. McLean, F. A. McClintock, P. E. Halstead, F. J. McGarry, Z. Hashin, J. C. Jaeger, E. T. Onat, F. Roll, H. Tottenham, A. A. Wells, M. L. Williams. Dean D. C. Drucker
