This text (translated from the Russian) packs a lot between it's 230 page covers. Ch1: Mechanics of Piezoelectric Materials ; covers constitutive equations, the variational formulation and various solution methods. The authors do not provide detailed proofs ... rather they simply present the results in most cases. Ch2 ; covers a large number of closed form piezoelectric solutions mostly by brief sketch of each solution taken from the literature. The chapter has a large bibliography (about half are Russian publications). Ch3 ; covers magnetic; magnetostrictive transducer and induction heating theory (i have not read this chapter).

Although the text seems devoid of new work, it does bring a lot of the literature together and should be usefull for those interested in piezoelectric transducer theory.
