With the advent of a host of new materials ranging from shape
memory alloys to biomaterials to multiphase alloys, acquiring the
capacity to model inelastic behavior and to choose the right model
in a commercial analysis software has become a pressing need for
practicing engineers. Even with the traditional materials, there is
a continued emphasis on optimizing and extending their full range
of capability in the applications. This textbook builds upon the
existing knowledge of elasticity and thermodynamics, and allows the
reader to gain confidence in extending one's skills in
understanding and analyzing problems in inelasticity. By reading
this textbook and working through the assigned exercises, the
reader will gain a level of comfort and competence in developing
and using inelasticity models. Thus, the book serves as a valuable
book for practicing engineers and senior-level
undergraduate/graduate-level students in the mechanical, civil,
aeronautical, metallurgical and other disciplines.The book is
written in three parts. Part 1 is primarily focused on lumped
parameter models and simple structural elements such as trusses and
beams. This is suitable for an advanced undergraduate class with
just a strength of materials background. Part II is focused on
small deformation multi-dimensional inelasticity and is suitable
for a beginning graduate class. Sufficient material is included on
how to numerically implement an inelastic model and solve either
using a simple stress function type of approach or using commercial
software. Case studies are included as examples. There is also an
extensive discussion of thermodynamics in the context of small
deformations. Part III focuses on more advanced situations such as
finite deformation inelasticity, thermodynamical ideas and crystal
plasticity. More advanced case studies are included in this part.*
This textbook takes a new, task- or scenario-based approach to
teaching and learning inelasticity. The book is written in an
active learning style that appeals to engineers and students who
wish to design or analyze structures and components that are
subject to inelasticity.* The book incorporates thermodynamical
considerations into the modeling right from an early stage.
Extensive discussions are provided throughout the book on the
thermodynamical underpinnings of the models.* This textbook is the
first to make extensive use of MATLAB to implement many
inelasticity models. It includes the use of concepts such as Airy
stress functions to solve plane problems for inelastic materials.
The MATLAB codes are listed in the appendix for one to modify with
their own models and requirements.* Step-by-step procedures for
formulations and calculations are provided for the reader to
readily adapt to the inelastic problems that he or she attempts to
solve.* A large number of problems, exercises and projects for one
to teach or learn from are included. These can be assigned as
homework, in-class exercises or projects.* The book is written in a
modular fashion, which provides adequate flexibility for adaptation
in classes that cater to different audiences such as senior-level
students, graduate students, research scholars, and practicing
engineers.
