Synopsis

The book offers a careful introduction to modern non-linear mechanics. The used mathematical tools, such as tensor algebra and analysis are given in detail. The general theory of mechanical behaviour is particularized for the broad and important classes of elasticity and plasticity. It is intended to bring the reader close to the fields of today's research activities. A list of notations and an index help the reader to find specific topics. The book is based on three decades of teaching experience in this field.

Review

From the reviews:

"The book is divided in four parts of similar importance, 80 pages for each of the first three respectively devoted to the mathematical background, continuum mechanics in general and elasticity, while the remaining 60 pages deal with the central subject, plasticity. a ] As a conclusion this book will be appreciated by two different types of readers: somebody looking for an introduction to modern continuum mechanics for solid materials a ] . More advanced readers will be interested by an original vision of plasticity a ] ." (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 27 (2), 2007)

From the Back Cover

The valuable input of students and colleagues has enabled the author to make many improvements to the first edition of this book, without, however, changing the main structure of the book. As a result, the second edition "Elasticity and Plasticity of Large deformations" still offers a careful introduction to modern non-linear mechanics. It presents in detail the used mathematical tools, such as tensor algebra and analysis. The general theory of mechanical behavior is particularized for the broad and important classes of elasticity and plasticity. The book is intended to bring the reader close to the fields of today's research activities. A list of notations and an index help the reader to find specific topics. The book is based on three decades of teaching experience in this field.
