Theory of Plasticity: Brown University Advanced Instruction and Research in Mechanics, Second Semester, 1941-1942

Theory of Plasticity is a comprehensive textbook that provides a detailed overview of the fundamental principles and concepts of plasticity. The book was originally developed as a course text for advanced instruction and research in mechanics at Brown University during the second semester of 1941-1942. Written by renowned mechanical engineer, William Prager, the book covers a wide range of topics related to plasticity, including the basic principles of plastic deformation, the mechanics of plastic flow, the theory of yield criteria, and the analysis of plastic stress and strain. The book is intended for use by students, researchers, and practicing engineers who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanics of plasticity and its applications in engineering and technology. With its clear and concise presentation of complex concepts and its wealth of practical examples and exercises, Theory of Plasticity is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to develop a solid foundation in this important area of mechanics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
