Review: This book deals with the load-bearing aspect of plasticity. In particular, deformations are considered infinitesimal and emphasis is placed on the distribution and intensity of stress and permanent strain. The text focuses on the most important aspects of theory and computation using matrix notation, while the development of analytical solutions is avoided, except for illustration or verification. Some complementary aspects of creep and viscoplasticity are considered, and a number of selected applications from engineering practice are used to demonstrate the usage of computational techniques.
