Bibliographies
A wide-ranging and comprehensive set of bibliographies are maintained covering the dynamic mechanical properties of materials. These have been compiled using the bibliographic software package 'Endnote'. They complement the standard on-line data bases in that many papers are listed from before 1980 and from conferences not covered by the on-line data bases. English language translation journals of Russian literature are covered. Selected bibliographies can be purchased by contacting Dr Stephen Walley (email address may be found in the list of group members).
