Book excerpt: This proceeding contains the papers presented at the 1991 Army Symposium on Solid Mechanics, held at Plymouth, Massachusetts, November 4 - 7, 1991. It was the twelfth in a series of biennial symposia with focus on solid mechanics research achievements which impact defense system needs. The symposia series which dates back to 1966 has been sponsored by the Army Materials Technology Laboratory in its role as the US Army lead laboratory for solid Mechanics research and exploratory development. Each symposium has its theme which emphasizes a particular subject of interest. The theme of 1991 symposium is 'Synergism of Mechanics, Mathematics and Materials' The need to interact among these three disciplines are well known, and the derived benefits have long been demonstrated. The symposium is organized into seven technical sessions covering subjects from basic research to applications. Many papers amplify the importance and benefits of synergism among the three disciplines. These papers have been subjected to the usual review process and revisions, if any required.
