Editorial Reviews

Review
"One could characterize the style of the book as 'robust'. It has obvious pedagogical appeal. In the introduction the author expresses his hope that the book will find its place both on the student's shelf and in the professional scientist's office. The reviewer strongly recommends that." Miroslav Silhavy, Mathematical Reviews

Product Description
This book concentrates on the mathematical theory of plasticity and fracture, and presents it in a thermomechanical framework. It follows the macroscopic, phenomenological approach, which proposes equations abstracted from generally accepted experimental facts, studies the adequacy of the consequences drawn from these equations to those facts, and then provides useful tools for designers and engineers. Many examples of plasticity and fracture are presented, and each chapter concludes with problems for students.

1.0 out of 5 stars this book is so hard to understand, June 13, 2004
By A Customer
This book is very hard to understand particularly because of the strange notaion used. The subject of the book is very good, and I couldnt find a parallel book anywhere else, so I am still diggning hard to get few ideas across.
