The present book provides a new method to estimate elastic-plastic
strains via a series of linear elastic analyses. For a life
prediction of structures subjected to variable loads, frequently
encountered in mechanical and civil engineering, the cyclically
accumulated deformation and the elastic plastic strain ranges are
required. The Simplified Theory of Plastic Zones (STPZ) is a direct
method which provides the estimates of these and all other
mechanical quantities in the state of elastic and plastic
shakedown. The STPZ is described in detail, with emphasis on the
fact that not only scientists but engineers working in applied
fields and advanced students are able to get an idea of the
possibilities and limitations of the STPZ. Numerous illustrations
and examples are provided to support the reader's understanding.
