Zusatztext The authors' intention to help, from undergraduates to researchers and practical engineers, to get modern practice in computional plasticity seems to be plainly accomplished in this intersting publication. Informationen zum Autor Dr Fionn Dunne is Reader in Engineering Science, University of OxfordDr Nik Petrinic is Lecturer in Engineering Science, University of Oxford Klappentext This book gives an introduction to computational plasticity and includes the kinematics of large deformations! together with relevant continuum mechanics. Central to the book is its focus on computational plasticity! and we cover an introduction to the finite element method which includesboth quasi-static and dynamic problems. We then go on to describe explicit and implicit implementations of plasticity models in to finite element software. Throughout the book! we describe the general! multiaxial form of the theory but uniquely! wherever possible! reduce the equations to theirsimplest! uniaxial form to develop understanding of the general theory and we hope physical insight. We provide several examples of implicit and explicit implementations of von Mises time-independent and visco-plasticity in to the commercial code ABAQUS (including the fortran coding)! which shouldprove invaluable to research students and practicing engineers developing ABAQUS 'UMATs'. The book bridges the gap between undergraduate material on plasticity and existing advanced texts on nonlinear computational mechanics! which makes it ideal for students and practicing engineers alike. Itintroduces a range of engineering applications! including superplasticity! porous plasticity! cyclic plasticity and thermo-mechanical fatigue! to emphasize the subject's relevance and importance. Zusammenfassung The book covers an introduction to the computational analysis of plasticity in engineering materials and structures. The general theory is presented which, wherever possible, is reduced to simple, one-dimensional forms to develop understanding and a good 'physical feel' for the theory. Implementations of the theory in to modern computer solution techniques are described and several examples given....
