Tremendous advances in computer technologies and methods have
precipitated a great demand for refinements in the constitutive
models of plasticity. Such refinements include the development of a
model that would account for material anisotropy and produces
results that compare well with experimental data. Key to developing
such models-and to meeting many other challenges in the field- is a
firm grasp of the principles of continuum mechanics and how they
apply to the formulation of plasticity theory. Also critical is
understanding the experimental aspects of plasticity and material
anisotropy.

Integrating the traditionally separate subjects of continuum
mechanics and plasticity, this book builds understanding in all of
those areas. Part I provides systematic, comprehensive coverage of
continuum mechanics, from a review of Carteisian tensors to the
relevant conservation laws and constitutive equation. Part II
offers an exhaustive presentation of the continuum theory of
plasticity. This includes a unique treatment of the experimental
aspects of plasticity, covers anisotropic plasticity, and
incorporates recent research results related to the endochronic
theory of plasticity obtained by the author and his
colleagues.

By bringing all of these together in one book, Continuum Mechanics
and Plasticity facilitates the learning of solid mechanics. Its
readers will be well prepared for pursuing either research related
to the mechanical behavior of engineering materials or
developmental work in engineering analysis and design.
