Focussing on theoretical aspects of the small-strain theory of hardening
elastoplasticity, this monograph provides a comprehensive and unified
treatment of the mathematical theory and numerical analysis, exploiting
in particular the great advantages gained by placing the theory in a
convex analytic context. Divided into three parts, the first part of the
text provides a detailed introduction to plasticity, in which the
mechanics of elastoplastic behaviour is emphasised, while the second
part is taken up with mathematical analysis of the elastoplasticity
problem. The third part is devoted to error analysis of various
semi-discrete and fully discrete approximations for variational
formulations of the elastoplasticity.
