Plasticity is concerned with the mechanics of materials deformed beyond theirelastic limit. A strong knowledge of plasticity is essential for engineersdealing with a wide range of engineering problems such as those encountered inthe forming of metals the design of pressure vessels the mechanics of impactcivil and structural engineering as well as the understanding of fatigue andthe economical design of structures.Theory of Plasticity is the most comprehensive reference on the subject aswell as the most up to date no other significant Plasticity reference hasbeen published recently making this of great interest to academics andprofessionals. This new edition presents extensive new material on the use ofcomputational methods plus coverage of important developments in cyclicplasticity and soil plasticity and is accompanied by a fully worked solutionsmanual. A complete plasticity reference for graduate students researchers andpracticing engineers no other book offers such an up to date or comprehensivereference on this key continuum mechanics subject Updates with new material on computational analysis and applications new endof chapter exercises and a worked solutions manual Plasticity is a key subject in all mechanical engineering disciplines aswell as in manufacturing engineering and civil engineering. Chakrabarty is oneof the subjects leading figures. «
