Opis

Born out of 15 years of courses and lectures on continuum mechanics, nonlinear mechanics, continuum thermodynamics, viscoelasticity, plasticity, crystal plasticity, and thermodynamic plasticity, The Mechanical and Thermodynamical Theory of Plasticity represents one of the most extensive and in-depth treatises on the mechanical and thermodynamical aspects of plastic and visicoplastic flow. Suitable for student readers and experts alike, it offers a clear and comprehensive presentation of multi-dimensional continuum thermodynamics to both aid in initial understanding and introduce and explore advanced topics. Covering a wide range of foundational subjects and presenting unique insights into the unification of disparate theories and practices, this book offers an extensive number of problems, figures, and examples to help the reader grasp the subject from many levels. Starting from one-dimensional axial motion in bars, the book builds a clear understanding of mechanics and continuum thermodynamics during plastic flow. This approach makes it accessible and applicable for a varied audience, including students and experts from engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and materials science.

Spanning every significant facet of the mechanical and thermodynamics theories of plasticity, this book provides a complete and accessible introduction to continuum mechanics and thermodynamics for those with minimal background. Going beyond what is found in a typical text, the author, a highly experienced instructor, covers what is needed to develop and select plasticity models, or use them for solving static and dynamic problems. He also provides professionals with the material to develop advanced models and evaluate leading edge applications. The book covers rate dependent and temperature dependent plasticity, anisotropic plasticity, thermodynamic constraints, and crystal plasticity.
