a new book in Contact Mechanics... for beginners!

Submitted by Mike Ciavarella on
would you be so kind as to give me some feedback on a draft version of a book which I intend to publish mainly for undergraduate students in Contact Mechanics.  I am author together with Prof. Antonio Papangelo and PhD student Riccardo Leonetti. If you are kindly available, please answer and I will send you the PDF.
