of engineering plasticity to be found, and, say the publishers, is a classic in its field. Stress, strain, and constitutive equations are given detailed coverage, including the effects of work-hardening and anisotropy. Design applications are covered in the elastic-plastic analysis of bending of beams, rings, and plates, the torsion of prismatic bore, and thick-walled cylinders and spherical shells subjected to internal and external pressure, and temperature gradient. The concepts of plastic instability under compressive or tensible forces are investigated thoroughly, and applied to the buckling of columns, and the bursting of thin-walled cylinders and spherical shells subjected to internal pressure. The concepts covered apply equally to the design of pressure vessels and failure occurring during metal formation. Wherever possible the theoretical analyses are compared with experimental results, whilst problems, and solutions to problems, and numerous references, conclude each chapter.

Edited by R. W. Lewis, P. Bettess and E. IIinton John Wiley, December 1983, 542 pp., $72.00/£37.00, ISBN 0471 90122 9 This b o o k is devoted solely to the topic of coupled systems and contains edited versions of selected papers presented at the International Conference on Numerical Methods for Coupled Problems held in Swansea, Wales, in 1981. The authors are internationally acclaimed experts and their papers present a unified and systematic approach to all coupled systems. In particular chapters deal with fluidstructure interaction, coupled numerical techniques, structure-structure interaction, geotechnical, electromagnetic and other couplings.

Butterworths, 160pp., 1983, softcover 0 408 01242 0, hardcover 0 4 0 8 01303 6 Programming for computer graphics requires a large number of simple geometric operations. The most obvious w a y to program these is often inefficient or numerically unstable. A Programmer's Geometry describes the best approaches to these elementary procedures, providing the programmer with geometric techniques in a form that can be directly incorporated into the program he is writing. The book also serves as a reference work and as an introauction by example to graphics programming.

A. E. Green John Wiley, December1983, 304 pp., $38.00/£19.00 This b o o k describes and develops the ideas and techniques involved in the reliability assessment of the high integrity t y p e of plant protective system which involves safety. Automatic protective systems for nuclear reactors have been used to illustrate some of the points studied, such as the importance of the independent safety and reliability assessment for such protective systems,

John Wiley, August 1984, 150 pp., US$29.95/£15.00 A concise review of the current status of the design of new computer architecture, particularly the parallel processor which has made such an impact in the facilitation of complex numerical problems. Developed from a series of tutorials held at the Free University of Berlin, stimulated both by the need for an introduction to this subject, and by the rapid recent development of computers, it is a compact introduction into a new field and shows both the common principles in parallel computing as well as the applications.
