Preface

Mechanical process involving deformable solids are abundant in industry and everyday life and play an important role in engineering structures and systems. They include a large variety of phenomena and, therefore, the need of using mathematical models (based on fundamental physical principles) that can predict reliably the evolution of deformable bodies under the action of external loads was recognised long time ago. Mathematical models used in Solid Mechanics are usually expressed in terms of partial differential equations, associated to various boundary and initial conditions. Their validity
