Plasticity Theory is characterized by many competing and often incompatible points of view. This book seeks to strengthen the foundations of continuum plasticity theory, emphasizing a unifying perspective grounded in the fundamental notion of material symmetry. Steigmann's book offers a systematic framework for the proper understanding of established models of plasticity and for their modern extensions and generalizations. Particular emphasis is placed on the differential-geometric aspects of the subject and their role in illuminating the conceptual foundations of plasticity theory. Classical models, together with several subjects of interest in contemporary research, are developed in a unified format. The book is addressed to graduate students and academics working in the field of continuum mechanics.

Reviews for A Course on Plasticity Theory

A very-well conceived book on plasticity theory, with the accent on its fundamentals regarding physical aspects of the subject and its mathematical treatment in the framework of modern continuum mechanics. I strongly and enthusiastically recommend the book. * Vlado A. Lubarda, University of California, San Diego * Any student in mechanics who wants to understand the subject in a concise and effective way will find this book extremely useful. It will become a fundamental textbook in the following decades. * Francesco Dell'Isola, Università dell'Aquila, Italy *
