overcoming possible notational barriers. No solutions of specialized technical problems are presented. Instead, the essentials of the theory are developed, beginning with tensor analysis, elements of potential theory, then moving to kinematics, dynamics, and the constitutive relation in linear elasticity, at each stage giving rigorous proofs for a large body of relevant assertions. Then a long chapter in elastostatics and another in elastodynamics complete this work which can serve as an excellent text for applied mathematicians interested in elasticity, and as a solid reference book with an extensive list of references for the practitioners. Linear Thermoelasticity by Donald E. Carlson; pp. 297-345 (reviewed by S.N.-N.). This part follows the style of the previous article, giving fundamentals in thermoelasticity, again avoiding solutions to technical problems. It is less ambitious than Gurtin's article, but scholarly done. While this reviewer finds it a welcome addition to the literature, he feels that the use of the questionable Clausius-Duhem inequality in the unquestionable classical theory of thermoelasticity is unnecessary. Existence Theorems in Elasticity and Boundary-Value Problems of Elasticity With Unilateral Constraints by Gaetano Fichera; pp. 347-424 (reviewed by W.E.O.). These two articles are recommended to those who have a good background in modern mathematical analysis. A substantial portion of the first article is devoted to key theorems on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to linear boundary-value problems involving strongly elliptic operators. Applications of these results are given for some classical problems in linear elasticity with bilateral constraints. The second article extends the analysis of the first article so as to treat problems with unilateral (i.e., inequality) constraints. General results are developed for the abstract unilateral problem in cases of both symmetric and nonsymmetric operators. Applications of these results include the famous Signorini Problem. The Theory of Shells and Plates by P. M. Naghdi; pp. 425-640 (reviewed by S.N.-N.). Field equations relating to elastic plates and shells are developed by two parallel methods. The first, called direct, views the shell as a deformable two-dimensional surface embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space. A deformable vector called director is assigned at each point of the surface. The kinematics of this model is developed, then dynamics is discussed by the introduction of contact (internal) force and director couple, and an additional vector called intrinsic director couple, taking due account of invariance under rigid rotation. Balance equations are postulated; and their local forms are obtained. Finally, for elastic shells, the free energy is expressed in terms of surface deformation measures, the director, and its surface gradient, temperature, etc. The use of the Clausius-Duhem inequality gives dynamical quantities as gradients of the free energy with respect to the corresponding deformation measures. The presentation is clear and systematic, making the whole shell theory appear easy. But in my view, this approach involves two principally insurmountable difficulties: (a) The free energy being written as a function of the nonphysical director and its gradient, one does not know how to calculate the constitutive parameters in terms of physically measurable quantities. (In some special cases, comparison with exact solutions of three-dimensional problems gives some of the Constitutive parameters.) Any physical identification of the director will involve ad hoc and intuitive approximations which the method wants to avoid; (b) Assuming that difficulty (a) is overcome, it does not appear possible, even in principle, to establish within the framework of this theory rigorous mathematical estimates for the error, if such a two-dimensional theory is used to solve a given three-dimensional shell problem, even for specialized geometries, and loading conditions.
