Basic Engineering Plasticity

Plasticity is concerned with the flow of the load bearing structures.

Basic Engineering Plastics provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to theories of plasticity. It draws upon numerical techniques and theoretical developments to support detailed examples of the plasticity theory. This blend of topics and support textbook is a valuable element of mechanics and professionals.

· Brings together the elements of the mechanics of plasticity The bridge pertinent to engineers, at both the micro- and macro-levels
· Covers the theory and application of topics such as Limit Analysis, Slip Line Field theory, Crystal Plasticity, Sheet and Bulk Metal Forming, as well as the use of Finite Element Analysis
· Clear and well-organized with detailed applications, examples of end-of-life solutions
