From the reviews:“This book by L. I. Manevitch and O. V. Gendelman is focused on a series of so-called ‘tractable models’. … This book presents new original ideas in analysis of models from very different topics of nonlinear mechanics. The proposed approaches allow the authors to simplify complicated nonlinear problems and describe some important solutions. This book may be useful for specialists dealing with nonlinear mechanics, for theoretical physicists, and also for use in academic courses. The book is recommended for libraries.” (Yuri V. Mikhlin, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 a)
