Unified Plasticity for Engineering Applications (Mathematical Concepts and Methods in Science and Engineering)

Unified Plasticity is a research monograph detailing the background, development and applications of the Bodner-Partom theory. This formulation was developed by the author largely in the late 80's under a grant from NASA, and further expanded on to present day. Dr. Bodner's research was published throughout the years in journals and conference proceedings, and Unified Plasticity consolidates these reports on the B-P theory. It serves as a very useful reference for modeling the mechanical behavior of materials over a wide range of circumstances.
