Finite Inelastic Deformations - Theory and Applications

By D. Besdo

Subjects: Applied Mechanics, Plasticity, Surfaces (Physics), Engineering, Finite element method

Description: The book provides a fundamental treatment of new developments in plasticity and visco-plasticity at finite strains. This covers the phenomenological material theory based on continuum mechanics and thermodynamics as well as the treatment of microstructural phenomena detected by precise experimental data, the rigorous and effective numerical methods and finally important applications. The reader will get a fresh insight in current research areas associated with the phenomenological material theory and computational nonlinear mechanics.
