This volume of scientific papers is dedicated with gratitude and
esteem to Ronald Rivlin and is offered as a token of appreciation
by former students, col laborators, and friends. Ronald Rivlin's
name is synonymous with modem developments in contin uum mechanics.
His outstanding pioneering theoretical and experimental re .search
in finite elasticity is a landmark. From his work there has
followed a spate of developments in which he played the leading
role-the theory of fiber-rein forced materials, the developments of
the theory of constitutive equations, the theory of materials with
memory, the theory of the fracture of elastomers, the theory of
viscoelastic fluids and solids, the development of nonlinear
crystal physics, the theory of small deformations superimposed on
large, and the effect of large initial strain on wave propagation.
It is in Rivlin's work that universal relations were first
recognized. Here also are to be found lucid explanations of
physical phenomena such as the Poynting effect for elastic rods in
torsion. Addi tionally, he and his co-workers predicted the
presence of secondary flows for viscoelastic fluids in straight
pipes of noncircular cross section under a uniform pressure head.
While some others may have displayed a cavalier lack of concern for
physical reality and an intoxication with mathematical idiom,
Rivlin has al ways been concerned with genuine mathematical and
physical content. All of his papers contain interesting and
illuminating material-and may be read with profit by anyone
interested in continuum mechanics."
