“It is competently written and provides a solid introduction to the mathematical analysis of dynamic materials and their optimization with some examples from mechanics and electromagnetics. The book will be of great interest for engineers and applied mathematicians interested in dynamic materials.” (M. Cengiz Dökmeci, zbMATH 1383.74003, 2018)
