    Born out of 15 years of courses and lectures on continuum mechanics, nonlinear mechanics, continuum thermodynamics, viscoelasticity, plasticity, crystal plasticity, and thermodynamic plasticity, The Mechanical and Thermodynamical Theory of Plasticity represents one of the most extensive and in-depth treatises on the mechanical and thermodynamical aspects of plastic and visicoplastic flow. Suitable for student readers and experts alike, it offers a clear and comprehensive presentation of multi-dimensional continuum thermodynamics to both aid in initial understanding and introduce and explore advanced topics.

    Covering a wide range of foundational subjects and presenting unique insights into the unification of disparate theories and practices, this book offers an extensive number of problems, figures, and examples to help the reader grasp the subject from many levels. Starting from one-dimensional axial motion in bars, the book builds a clear understanding of mechanics and continuum thermodynamics during plastic flow. This approach makes it accessible and applicable for a varied audience, including students and experts from engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and materials science.

    Biography

    Mehrdad Negahban

    "an excellent text for a graduate-level course in plasticity…the approach and selection of topics are appropriate for the audience. ... Professor Negahban has done an excellent job in presenting a unified approach to include thermal effects in the theory of finite deformation of plastic solids. The simple thermo-mechanical analog presented at the beginning of the chapter is also very instructive to the reader. {presented figures are] particularly helpful in understanding the mechanisms in a simple (one-dimensional) setting … The learning features included in this chapter are excellent (the figures are clear and illustrative). The table of contents is well-balanced and very clear…The in-depth and unified approach to many topics discussed in the text (e.g., thermoplasticity under finite deformation) is of particular interest..."
    Ken Zuo, University of Alabama in Huntsville, USA

    "… takes a modern, in depth approach to the subject of thermoplasticity. The chapters are written to be somewhat self-contained. …. can be adapted to satisfy a variety of courses and subjects. The author has done an admirable job of pointing out how the text would satisfy these competing requirements."
    Ronald E. Smelser, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA
