PLASTICITY THEORY

elasticity-and-plasticity

The aim of Plasticity Theory is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the contemporary state of knowledge in basic plasticity theory and to its applications. It treats several areas not commonly found between the covers of a single book: the physics of plasticity, constitutive theory, dynamic plasticity, large-deformation plasticity, and numerical methods, in addition to a representative survey of problems treated by classical methods, such as elastic-plastic problems, plane plastic flow, and limit analysis; the problem discussed come from areas of interest to mechanical, structural, and geotechnical engineers, metallurgists and others.
The necessary mathematics and basic mechanics and thermodynamics are covered in an introductory chapter, making the book a self-contained text suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, as well as a reference for practitioners of solid mechanics.

It may seem awkward, for example, that constitutive theory, both elastic and inelastic, is introduced in Chapter 1 (which is a general introduction to continuum thermodynamics), interrupted for a survey of the physics of plasticity as given in Chapter 2, and returned to with specific attention to visco plasticity and (finally!) rate-independent plasticity in Chapter 3; this chapter contains the theory of yield criteria, flow rules, and hardening rules, as well as uniqueness theorems, extremum and variation al principles, and limit-analysis and shakedown theorems. I believe that the book’s structure and style are sufficiently loose to permit some juggling of the material; to continue the example, the material of Chapter 2 may be taken up at some other point, if at all.
