Sadowsky published the first in 1929, followed by two others in 1930, and Walter Wunderlich published the last in 1962.The volume also contains invited, peer-reviewed, original research articles on related topics.Previously published in the Journal of Elasticity, Volume 119, Issue 1-2, 2015.weiterlesen
