This work treats the elasticity of deformed bodies, including the resulting interior stresses and displacements. It also takes into account that some of constitutive relations can be considered in a weak form. To discuss this problem properly, the method of integrodifferential r…
An extensive review of the theory of plasticity, limit design and limit analysis of plates is contained in this volume. Detailed descriptions are given on the plastic behaviour of homogeneous, reinforced and sandwich plates, and on the rise of various yield-line patterns. The vo…
This monograph provides a compact introduction into the classical, i.e. rate-independent, plasticity theory. Starting from the engineering stress-strain diagram, the concept of elastic and elasto-plastic material behavior is introduced, as well as the concept of uniaxial and mul…
