Internal Friction of Materialsby A. Puskar
Cambridge International Science Publishing 2001; US$ 130.00The author presents important new results for the relationship between internal friction and the defect of the elasticity modulus with many principal processes such as plastic deformation, effect of temperature of plastic deformation, effects on the structural stability of alloys and composites up to cyclic microplasticity. The existence of critical strain amplitudes is discussed and supported by experiments, and attention is given to the link of cyclic microplasticity with dislocation density and activation volume of plastic deformation up to the effect of individual factors on the cyclic plastic response of the material. The relationship of the process of mechanical fatigue of the material with internal friction and the defect of the elasticity... more...
Foundations of Stress Wavesby Lili Wang
Elsevier 2007; US$ 170.00The primary objective of this work is to give the reader an understanding of stress wave behaviour while taking into account the dynamic constitutive equations of elastic-plastic solids. The author has combined a 'materials characteristics' approach with a 'singularity surface' approach in this work, which readers will find to be a novel and unique route to solving their problems. * Helps engineers understand the effects and behavior of stress waves in various materials * Aids in the process of engineering design, testing, and evaluation more...
Principles of Hyperplasticityby Guy T. Houlsby; Alexander M. Puzrin
Springer 2006; US$ 209.00The approach to plasticity theory developed here is firmly rooted in thermodynamics. This book emphasises on the use of potentials and the derivation of incremental response, necessary for numerical analysis. It shows the derivation of constitutive models for irreversible behaviour from two scalar potentials. more...
Generalized Plasticityby Mao-Hong Yu
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 209.00Dealing with the plasticity of materials and structures, this book is an expansion of the "Unified Strength Theory to Plasticity Theory", leading to a unified treatment of metal plasticity and plasticity of geomaterials. It includes the metal plasticity for Tresca materials, Huber-von-Mises materials and twin-shear materials. more...
Variational Models and Methods in Solid and Fluid Mechanicsby Francesco Dell?Isola; Sergey Gavrilyuk
Springer 2012; US$ 209.00Variational methods give an efficient and elegant way to formulate and solve mathematical problems that are of interest to scientists and engineers. In this book three fundamental aspects of the variational formulation of mechanics will be presented: physical, mathematical and applicative ones. The first aspect concerns the investigation of the nature of real physical problems with the aim of finding the best variational formulation suitable to those problems. The second aspect is the study of the well-posedeness of those mathematical problems which need to be solved in order to draw previsions from the formulated models. And the third aspect is related to the direct application of variational analysis to solve real engineering problems. more...
