Synopsis

Plasticity is concerned with the mechanics of materials deformed beyond their elastic limit. A strong knowledge of plasticity is essential for engineers dealing with a wide range of engineering problems, such as those encountered in the forming of metals, the design of pressure vessels, the mechanics of impact, civil and structural engineering, as well as the understanding of fatigue and the economical design of structures.

Theory of Plasticity is the most comprehensive reference on the subject as well as the most up to date -- no other significant Plasticity reference has been published recently, making this of great interest to academics and professionals. This new edition presents extensive new material on the use of computational methods, plus coverage of important developments in cyclic plasticity and soil plasticity.

• A complete plasticity reference for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers; no other book offers such an up to date or comprehensive reference on this key continuum mechanics subject
• Updates with new material on computational analysis and applications, new end of chapter exercises
• Plasticity is a key subject in all mechanical engineering disciplines, as well as in manufacturing engineering and civil engineering. Chakrabarty is one of the subject's leading figures.

About this title

Book Description:

The standard work on plasticity; updated, extended and now accompanied by additional teaching resources

From the Back Cover:

Plasticity is concerned with the mechanics of materials deformed beyond their elastic
limit. A strong knowledge of plasticity is essential for engineers dealing with a wide range of engineering problems, such as those encountered in the forming of metals, the design of pressure vessels, the mechanics of armor penetration, the understanding of fatigue and the economical design of structures.

The book presents not only the basic theory, but also presents readers with detailed examples of the application of plasticity theory to a variety of engineering problems, both structural and non-structural in nature. Several chapters of the book are devoted to the theory and application of the slipline field, which constitutes one of the most highly developed areas of the mathematical theory of plasticity. The elastic/plastic bending of beams, torsion of bars, partially plastic expansion of thick-walled pressure vessels, and the load carrying capacity of beams and framed structures, and plates and shells, are all covered in detail.

Since its first publication in 1987, Theory of Plasticity has become recognized as the most comprehensive reference on the subject. This new edition presents additional material on the use of computational methods, plus coverage of important developments in cyclic plasticity and soil plasticity.
