Elasticity and Plasticity of Large Deformations

This book is devoted to fundamental material laws - elasticity or plasticity.

The authors of this book cover both aspects, finite elasticity as well as finite plasticity.

The one is not understandable without a profound insight into the other.

Emphasis is given to the physical theory of large deformation theory of plasticity and elasticity.

The authors include a number of examples and solved problems, which will be of special interest to engineers and researchers from industrial practice.

Although the text deals with theoretical physics with a mathematical underpinning, it is clearly written.

The text is on an advanced level, and is ideal for young scientists and researchers or engineers, who want to become familiar with the theory for use in their everyday work.
