{"product_id":"fundamentals-of-plasticity-in-geomechanics","title":"Fundamentals of Plasticity in Geomechanics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book presents a concise, yet reasonably comprehensive, overview of fundamental notions of plasticity in relation to geomechanics. The primary objective of this work is to provide the reader with a general background in soil\/rock plasticity and, as such, should be perceived as an introduction to the broad area of inelastic response of geomaterials.The book is divided into eight chapters. Chapters 1 \u0026amp; 2 start with an outline of the basic concepts and fundamental postulates, followed by a review of the elasticperfectly plastic formulations in geomechanics. The isotropic strainhardening framework and isotropickinematic hardening rules, the latter formulated within the context of bounding surface plasticity, are discussed in Chapters 3 \u0026amp; 4. Chapter 5 outlines the basic techniques for numerical integration, whereas Chapter 6 gives an overview of procedures for limit analysis that include applications of lower and upper bound theorems. Both these chapters are introductory in nature and are intended to provide a basic background in the respective areas. Chapter 7 deals with description of inherent anisotropy in geomaterials. Finally, Chapter 8 provides an overview of the experimental response of geomaterials.The text is intended primarily for Ph.D.\/M.Sc. students as well as researchers working in the areas of soil\/rock mechanics. It may also be of interest to practicing engineers familiar with established notions of contemporary continuum mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45900267684038,"sku":"DADAX0415585163","price":147.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61MBEmKN3UL.jpg?v=1780311073","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/fundamentals-of-plasticity-in-geomechanics","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
