Nonlinear Dynamics in Solids

This is the second volume in the sequence of books deriving from the most ambitious and interesting of the German Physical Society's schools held at the Physics Center in Bad Honnef. A number of conference proceedings on nonlinear dynamics in fluids exist; this is the first on nonlinear dynamics in solids.
