Product Description

Inelastic Analysis of Solids and Structures presents in a unified manner the physical and theoretical background of inelastic material models and computational methods, and illustrates the behavior of the models in typical engineering conditions. It is based on experimental observations and principles of mechanics, thus describing computational algorithms for stress calculation and presenting solved examples. The theoretical background is given to an extent necessary to describe the commonly employed material models in metal isotropic and orthotropic plasticity, thermoplasticity and viscoplasticity, and the plasticity of geological materials . The computational algorithms are developed in a unified manner with some detailed derivations of the algorithmic relations . The solved examples are designed to give insight into the material behavior in various engineering conditions, and to demonstrate the application of the computational algorithms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book...., August 6, 2006

By	Lee (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews

Inelastic analysis is a very difficult subject in computational solid mechanics. This book very clearly presents the subject... This book will be a right choice if you are a biginner in inelastic analysis of solid mechanics. If you are a expert, this book will be a useful reference......!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inelastic Analysis using Finite Elements, August 4, 2006

By	Robert Kroyer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is an excellent and classical book concerning the presentation of methods and applications for inelastic analysis problems. Inelastic stress analysis of solids is combined in a very good way with nonlinear finite element methods. This book is a challenge to deepen inelastic analysis.
