The subject of computational plasticity encapsulates the numerical
methods used for the finite element simulation of the behaviour of
a wide range of engineering materials considered to be plastic -
i.e. those that undergo a permanent change of shape in response to
an applied force. "Computational Methods for Plasticity: Theory and
Applications" describes the theory of the associated numerical
methods for the simulation of a wide range of plastic engineering
materials; from the simplest infinitesimal plasticity theory to
more complex damage mechanics and finite strain crystal plasticity
models. It is split into three parts - basic concepts, small
strains and large strains. Beginning with elementary theory and
progressing to advanced, complex theory and computer
implementation, it is suitable for use at both introductory and
advanced levels. The book:
Offers a self-contained text that allows the reader to learn
computational plasticity theory and its implementation from one
volume. Includes many numerical examples that illustrate the
application of the methodologies described. Provides introductory
material on related disciplines and procedures such as tensor
analysis, continuum mechanics and finite elements for non-linear
solid mechanics. Is accompanied by purpose-developed finite element
software that illustrates many of the techniques discussed in the
text, downloadable from the book's companion website.
This comprehensive text will appeal to postgraduate and graduate
students of civil, mechanical, aerospace and materials engineering
as well as applied mathematics and courses with computational
mechanics components. It will also be of interest to research
engineers, scientistsand software developers working in the field
of computational solid mechanics.
