Explores the Principles of Plasticity: Most
undergraduate programs lack an undergraduate plasticity theory course,
and many graduate programs in design and manufacturing lack a course on
plasticity―leaving a number of engineering students without adequate
information on the subject. Emphasizing stresses generated in the
material and its effect, Plasticity: Fundamentals and Applications
effectively addresses this need. This book fills a void by introducing
the basic fundamentals of solid mechanics of deformable bodies. It
provides a thorough understanding of plasticity theory, introduces the
concepts of plasticity, and discusses relevant applications. Studies the Effects of Forces and Motions on Solids: The authors make a point of highlighting the importance of plastic deformation, and also discuss the concepts of elasticity (for a clear understanding of plasticity, the elasticity theory must also be understood). In addition, they present information on updated Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations for the modeling of metal forming and machining. Topics covered include: Stress + Strain + Constitutive relations + Fracture + Anisotropy + Contact problems. Plasticity: Fundamentals and Applications
enables students to understand the basic fundamentals of plasticity
theory, effectively use commercial finite-element (FE) software, and
eventually develop their own code. It also provides suitable reference
material for mechanical/civil/aerospace engineers, material processing
engineers, applied mechanics researchers, mathematicians, and other
industry professionals.
