Xin-Lin Gao and I had the pleasure of guest-editing a special issue on "scale effects in mechanics" for the journal, Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids (editor: Professor David Steigmann , UC Berkeley).
Professor Jerry Ericksen (Timoshenko awardee, 1979 ) kindly provided an authoritative review of the Cauchy-Born rule. In addition, the special issue contains six other notable papers. Interested folks can get an overview of the special issue and the contained papers by reading the attached preface.
For a period of one month starting from May 1st, the entire special issue is freely accessible.

Ericksen's Timoshenko Lecture?
Dear Pradeep: Do you have contact with Ericksen? His lecture has been missing from our list of Timoshenko Lectures. Could you please ask him for it? Many thanks.

about Ericksen's Timoshenko lecture
Pradeep,
Here is a quote from D D Joseph's Timoshenko lecture (which exists on the imechanica archive):
"I understand that when Jerry Ericksen got this award, he said "thank you" and sat down."
Sets a hard to beat standard for being to the point.
