These proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Anisotropy, Inhomogeneity and Nonlinearity in Solid Mechanics contains 69 papers by acknowledged experts covering recent research in this field. The material has been grouped into eight sections: characterization of anisotropic materials; large deformations and flow; numerical studies in plasticity; plasticity and granular materials; fracture and damage; anisotropic media; composite materials; waves and vibrations. Individual papers cover analytical methods, experimental and/or numerical techniques which may be applied to static or dynamic problems for anisotropic media. It should be useful for those engaged in developing, modelling and testing modern composite, laminated or inhomogeneous materials.
