Plasticity and Beyond

From the book reviews:“The present volume covers a wide spectrum of aspects pertaining to the analysis of elastoplastic behavior of materials, including the microstructure and scale effects. … The book is recommended for use by graduate students, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and researchers working in the above areas. The reviewer believes it to be a useful addition to the understanding and analysis of the complex elastoplastic behavior of materials.” (V. K. Arya, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2015)
