Description

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. This�book�includes an updated reference list and over 100 changes throughout the book. It contains the latest knowledge on the subject. 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.Typham this is the title: Elasticity and Plasticity of Large Deformations Including Gradient Materials 4th Edition
