Intended for graduate students in mechanical, civil, or structural engineering, or in applied mechanics, this text covers advanced topics in plasticity that have thus far been accessible only in review articles widely scattered through the literature. Practicing engineers will thus also find it a useful reference. This new edition will be completely updated beginning with the fundamentals of the mathematical theory of plasticity, presented in sufficient detail tomake the text self- sufficient. The discussion then turns to the theory of plastic stress and its applications to structural analysis and sheet metal forming. This is followed by treatments of axially symmetrical systems and some three-dimensional problems; of the plastic behavior of plates and shells, discussed mainly from the point of view of limit analysis; and of the plasticity of metals with fully developed orthotropic anisotropy and the plastic behavior of anisotropic sheets. Covers advanced topics in plasticity Includes a new chapter on the Finite Element Method Includes updates throughout based on recent research and developments Includes a new section on the yield line theory for theplastic collapse of plates Includes new homework problems within the book andseparate solutions manual INDICE: Fundamental Principles.- Problems in Plane Stress.- Axisymmetric and Related Problems.- Plastic Bending of Plates.- Plastic Analysis of Shells.-Plastic Anisotropy.- Plastic Buckling.- Dynamic Plasticity.- Finite Element Method.
