Efforts aimed at understanding the behavior of metals under loading beyond the elastic
regime provided the starting point, at the turn of this century, for the development of a body of …

Our work on rate-independent systems was stimulated by our search for evolutionary
material models for shape-memory alloys that are flexible enough to encompass nonlinear …

The subject of computational plasticity encapsulates the numerical methods used for the
finite element simulation of the behaviour of a wide range of engineering materials …

We present a class of constitutive updates for general viscoplastic solids including such
aspects of material behavior as finite elastic and plastic deformations, non-Newtonian …

This book focuses on the theoretical aspects of small strain theory of elastoplasticity with
hardening assumptions. It provides a comprehensive and unified treatment of the …

A thermodynamic framework is presented for the plasticity modelling of geotechnical
materials. The framework is capable of modelling rigorously both friction and non-associated …

The need of accurately reproducing the behaviour of elastoplastic materials in
computational environments for the solution of engineering problems motivates the …

This book presents a theoretical treatment of nonlinear behavior of solids and structures in
such a way that it is suitable for numerical computation, typically using the Finite Element …

The problem of quasistatic evolution in small strain associative elastoplasticity is studied in
the framework of the variational theory for rate-independent processes. Existence of …

This book contributes to the mathematical theory of systems of differential equations
consisting of the partial differential equations resulting from conservation of mass and …
