Plasticity is concerned with understanding the behavior of metals and alloys when loaded beyond the elastic limit, whether as a result of being shaped or as the

The theory of plasticity is a branch of solid mechanics that investigates the relationship between permanent deformation and load, and the distribution of stres

This book gives an introduction to computational plasticity and includes the kinematics of large deformations, together with relevant continuum mechanics. Centr

Engineering Plasticity deals with certain features of the theory of plasticity that can be applied to engineering design. Topics covered range from specificatio
