Computational Methods in Elasticity and Plasticity: Solids and
Porous Media presents the latest developments in the area of
elastic and elasto-plastic finite element modeling of solids,
porous media and pressure-dependent materials and structures. The
book covers the following topics in depth: the mathematical
foundations of solid mechanics, the finite element method for
solids and porous media, the theory of plasticity and the finite
element implementation of elasto-plastic constitutive models. The
book also includes: -A detailed coverage of elasticity for
isotropic and anisotropic solids. -A detailed treatment of
nonlinear iterative methods that could be used for nonlinear
elastic and elasto-plastic analyses. -A detailed treatment of a
kinematic hardening von Mises model that could be used to simulate
cyclic behavior of solids. -Discussion of recent advances in the
analysis of porous media and pressure-dependent materials in more
detail than other books currently available. Computational Methods
in Elasticity and Plasticity: Solids and Porous Media also contains
problem sets, worked examples and a solutions manual for
instructors.

New techniques such as the shear wave velocity techniques,
electrical methods, and ground penetrating radar have potential for
providing new, reliable information. Results presented in these
papers collectively demonstrate that these new techniques should be
given serious consideration for predicting the liquefaction
behavior of saturated sands during earthquakes. This proceeding
presents nondestructive site characterization and property
evaluation, constitutive modeling and numerical procedures, and
applications. The papers cover: details on the use of an electrical
technique for evaluating in situ properties; the use of ground
penetrating radar for predicting changes in soil density during
soil liquefaction; how shear wave velocities measured in situ are
capable of predicting the liquefaction potential; the constitutive
modeling of flow liquefaction and cyclic mobility in detail;
soil-pile structure interaction in liquefiable soils; and
non-destructive electrical in situ site characterization to
quantify the initial state parameters and constitutive model
constants representative of the site for use in verified numerical
procedures.
