Publisher's Synopsis

This presentation of the fundamental theories of plasticity, within the framework of non-linear continuum mechanics and the use of tensor notation, collates the basic features of plasticity and demonstrates the versatility of its application in many branches of technology, including manufacture of machines, engines and structures of all kinds.;It presents methods used in the practice analysis and design of engineering structures, discussing such methods from the point of view of both the research worker and the practising designer. Constructive equations are developed for the elastic-perfectly plastic and rigid-perfectly plastic behaviour of structural materials, dealing with the analysis of beams, frames, plates and shells to indicate typical problems encountered by structural engineers.;The approach adopted enables the reader to gain knowledge of the mathematical form of constitutive laws, satisfying necessary invariance requirements and revealing variables which enter the constitutive relationship. All basic structural systems are dealt with, including bar structures, plates, slabs and shells. Shakedown theory is also explained.
