Written by an award-winning teacher and internationally-known structural dynamicist, this invaluable book gives readers a thorough grounding in all the basics-equilibrium, material behavior, and the geometry of deformation. It also provides a systematic problem-solving methodology that provides a practical system for planning and analyzing solutions.

Christophe Dugave prepared his PhD in molecular pharmacology under the guidance of Professor Marquet and Professor Gaudry. Then he moved to the University of Sherbrooke (Canada) where he worked as a post--doctoral fellow under the supervision of Professor Deslongchamps. He is currently working at the Department of Protein Engineering and Research of the French Atomic Energy Commission at CEA/Saclay near Paris. His research interests include the synthesis of nonnatural amino acids, pseudopeptides, peptidomimetics, and radiolabeling of peptides and proteins with tritium technetium and other radioisotopes.
