This text deals with the irreversible deformation of structural elements composed of ductile materials. It is concerned with the mechanics of static and dynamic deformation processes that result from large loads. The aim is to develop analytical models that represent more complex material properties and structural characteristics. The behaviour of these systems is compared with experimental measurements of structural response. Methods of incorporating elastic-plastic deformations and interaction yield surfaces into transient structural dynamics are presented for the first time. These are used...

Before the Civil War, Florida's population hovered around 200,000. Over the next century, it increased dramatically, rising to just under three million by 1950. During the next fifty years, however, it exploded, increasing more than 500 percent to almost sixteen million. By the end of the twentieth century, the state had one of the nation's largest economies. The Sunshine Economy traces the development of the industries that spurred this major growth. It describes how Florida progressed from being one of the least populated states in the country, with an economy based on forestry...
