Advances in Engineering Monograph Series

Series Purpose and Goals
This monograph series has as its primary focus the disciplines within Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. These fields of scholarly work and design have become so broad that it is almost impossible to keep up with developments. There are very important developments in nanotechnology, MEMS, robotics, mechatronics, advanced materials for structural control and smart structures, just to mention a few. Additionally, more traditional but equally important activities exist in vibration and dynamics, thermal processing of materials, delamination of composites, continuum mechanics, and fluid-structure interaction.
Our goal is to publish monographs to be written in such a way that they can be essential to both the engineer/scientist as well as someone new to the subject. Most monographs, therefore, will begin with a concise literature review plus introductions to the relevant math.
In addition, we will on occasion, publish handbooks and edited volumes. These titles are expected to fill a broader need in the community where multidisciplinary frontiers are being crossed as problem areas become more complex.
