Description
Springer Elasticity And Plasticity Of Large Deformations Including Gradient Materials 4th Edtion 2021 by Bertram A.
This book presents an introduction to material theory and, in particular, to elasticity, plasticity and viscoelasticity, to bring the reader close to the frontiers of today's knowledge in these particular fields. It starts right from the beginning without assuming much knowledge of the subject. Hence, the book is generally comprehensible to all engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and others. At the beginning of each new section, a brief Comment on the Literature contains recommendations for further reading._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_This book includes an updated reference list and over 100 changes throughout the book. It contains the latest knowledge on the subject._x000D__x000D_Two new chapters have been added in this new edition. Now finite viscoelasticity is included, and an Essay on gradient materials, which have recently drawn much attention._x000D_ Table of contents :- Introduction.- Mathematical Preparation.- Kinematics.- Balance Laws.- The Principles of Material Theory.- Internal Constraints.- Elasticity.- Hyperelasticity.- Solutions.- Inelasticity.- Plasticity.- References.- Index.
