This volume records the Symposium on 'Anisotropy, Inhomogeneity and
Nonlinearity in Solid Mechanics', held at the University of
Nottingham from 30th August to 3rd September 1994, sponsored by the
International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and held
in conjunction with the In- ternational Society for the Interaction
of Mechanics and Mathematics. The advent of composite materials,
together with their widespread use in recent years, has provided a
powerful stimulus for advances in several somewhat ne- glected
areas of solid mechanics. Exploitation of fibre-reinforced solids
and laminates has rekindled interest in the theory and application
of anisotropic elasticity and motivated study of many aspects of
material inhomogeneity. The need to understand fibre-matrix
interactions, especially in modelling metal- matrix composites and
the forming of thermoplastic components has fostered advances in
plasticity and viscoelasticity theory, to describe phenomena such
as deformation-induced inhomogeneity and anisotropy. Plasticity and
flow of granular media are also intrinsically nonlinear, giving
rise, for example, to highly anisotropic and strongly localized
effects, such as shear bands. Most materials contain impurities.
These inclusions, even if microscopically isotropic, cause
macroscopic anisotropy in an 'effective-medium' theory. Dy- namic
behaviour is even more complex, since wave propagation reveals both
attenuation and dispersion effects. Increased interest in
finer-scaled compos- ites (nanotechnology and superlattices) and
ultra-high frequency techniques continue to reveal new effects, due
to inhomogeneity and microstructure. An example included here is
lattice-induced dispersion for certain surface waves of relatively
long wavelength.
