The Mechanical and Thermodynamical Theory of Plasticity

Negahban (engineering mechanics, U. of Nebraska-Lincoln) has developed this textbook from courses on continuum mechanics, nonlinear mechanics, continuum thermodynamics, and other areas for students of material and mechanical science and engineering, so its scope is broad and adaptable to many different courses. The topics include vectors and tensors; traction, stress, and heat flux; infinitesimal plasticity; elastic and thermoelastic solids; and crystal plasticity.
