Fourteen papers from the June 1999 conference in Blacksburg, Virginia address topics like the numerical modeling of electro-mechanical interactions in metal, crack branching and deflecting, the numerical analysis of magnetostrictive materials, the modeling of magneto-elasticity, magnetostriction effects modeling, boundary intergap formulation, nonlinear electrostatic biological membranes, propagation of guided waves, analytic modeling of resistance, and a Galerkin magnetostatic finite element method. Each paper contains an abstract. Author index only. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
