- Elasticity and Plasticity of Large Deformations (978-3-642-24614-2) - Einband - flex.(Paperback)
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. … 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 … . More advanced readers will be interested by an original vision of plasticity … .“ (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 27 (2), 2007)
„This is a textbook containing some modern topics in the field of nonlinear description of solid continua. … It contains the mathematical tools needed in the domain, the basic elements of mechanics of continua, as well as the most important models in the field of solid continua, namely elasticity and plasticity. … This book is useful to students and researchers in the area of solid mechanics.“ (Olivian Simionescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1154, 2009)
This careful and detailed introduction to non-linear continuum mechanics and to elasticity and platicity, with a unique mathematical foundation, starts right from the basics.
The general theory of mechanical behaviour is particularized for the broad and important classes of elasticity and plasticity.
Brings the reader to the forefront of today's knowledge.
A list of notations and an index help the reader finding specific topics.
