Description

Plasticity Theory is characterized by many competing and often incompatible points of view.

This book seeks to strengthen the foundations of continuum plasticity theory, emphasizing a unifying perspective grounded in the fundamental notion of material symmetry.

Steigmann's book offers a systematic framework for the proper understanding of established models of plasticity and for their modern extensions and generalizations.

Particular emphasis is placed on the differential-geometric aspects of the subject and their role in illuminating the conceptual foundations of plasticity theory.

Classical models, together with several subjects of interest in contemporary research, are developed in a unified format.

The book is addressed to graduate students and academics working in the field of continuum mechanics.
