Elastoplasticity Theory

by Vlado A. Lubarda

Overview

Understanding the elastoplastic deformation of metals and geomaterials, including the constitutive description of the materials and analysis of structure undergoing plastic deformation, is an essential part of the background required by mechanical, civil, and geotechnical engineers as well as materials scientists. However, most books address the su

Editorial Reviews

A textbook for a graduate course on the theory of plasticity and nonlinear continuum mechanics. Students are assumed to be familiar with the introductory aspects of plasticity and the basic concepts of crystallography and the dislocation theory as taught in undergraduate materials science courses.
