Unified Plasticity for Engineering Applications

This is a research monograph detailing the background, development and applications of the Bodner-Partom theory. This formulation was developed by the author largely in the late-80's under a grant from NASA, and then further expanded. Dr. Bodner's research was published throughout the years in journals and conference proceedings, and this text consolidates these reports on the B-P theory. It should serve as a useful reference for modelling the mechanical behaviour of materials over a wide range of circumstances.
