Mathematical Modeling of Inelastic Deformation

Download or read book Mathematical Modeling of Inelastic Deformation written by J.F. Besseling and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994-05-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical Modeling of Inelastic Deformation details the mathematical modeling of the inelastic behavior of engineering materials. The authors use a thermodynamic approach to the subject and focus on crystalline materials, but not to the exclusion of macro-moleular solids. Within a unified theory for small and large deformations, they develop simple models, such as the elastic-perfectly plastic model, as well as complex models dealing with anisotropic hardening. The book includes finite element implementation of the theory and illustrates the implementation with examples from heat production and conduction processes.
