In this revised second edition, Elements of Plasticity continues to bridge the gap between classical theory and modern computational techniques and does so by focusing on the most important elements of theory and computation using matrix notation. Some complementary aspects of creep and viscoplasticity are considered and a number of applications from engineering practice are used to demonstrate the use of computational techniques. Practicing engineers, consultants and graduate students from civil, mechanical, automotive and aerospace engineering will find this revised edition indispensable.
