"Nonlinear continuum mechanics for finite elasticity-plasticity empowers readers to fully understand the constitutive equation of finite strain, an essential piece in assessing the deformation and strength of materials and safety of structures. The book starts by providing a fou…
Elastic Domains: Yield Conditions -- The Plastic Flow Rule -- Elastoplastic Modeling in Generalized Variables -- Quasi-static Elastoplastic Processes -- Quasi-static Elastoplastic Processes: Minimum Principles -- Limit Loads: Limit Analysis. Elastoplastic behavior has long been…
Elastoplastic behavior has long been part of the constitutive models incorporated in most computer codes, used in the design of civil and mechanical engineering structures. Elastoplastic Modeling offers a compact presentation of the fundamentals of classical elastoplastic modeli…
"This book serves as a core text for university curricula in solid body mechanics and, at the same time, examines the main achievements of state of the art research in the mechanics of elastic and non-elastic materials. This latter goal of the book is achieved through rich bibli…
