Born out of 15 years of courses and lectures on continuum mechanics, nonlinear mechanics, continuum thermodynamics, viscoelasticity, plasticity, crystal plastic

The approach to plasticity theory developed here is firmly rooted in thermodynamics. Emphasis is placed on the use of potentials and the derivation of increment

This book concentrates upon the mathematical theory of plasticity and fracture as opposed to the physical theory of these fields, presented in the thermomechani
