This book concentrates on the mathematical theory of plasticity and fracture, and presents it
in a thermomechanical framework. It follows the macroscopic, phenomenological approach …

This book is an outgrowth of my involvement in two groups of research in solid mechanics,
created in 1960 for the French nuclear energy program. At this time, it was decided that …

This paper addresses stability and bifurcation analysis for common systems of solids in the
framework of plasticity, of friction and of fracture mechanics. Although physically different …
