Solid mechanics research for quantitative non-destructive evaluation Proceedings of the ONR Symposium on Solid Mechanics Research for QNDE, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, September 18–20, 1985 / edited by Jan D. Achenbach, Y. Rajapakse.

Within the Solid Mechanics Program at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), our primary mission is to establish a basic research program which addresses the funda­ mental issues in solid mechanics where a clear scientific understanding is lacking. Our approach involves first identifying the various sc...
