This volume contains papers presented at the Symposium on the Mechanics of Electromagnetic Materials and Structures of the 1999 ASME Summer Meeting in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. Topics covered include continuum modelling of deformable electromagnetic materials, magnetoelasticity and electroelasticity. Experimental, computational, and theoretical results are presented. The Symposium and the book are enriched by the participation of contributors from industries and presentations related to device applications.
