| Summary |
"Providing a basic foundation for advanced graduate study and research in the mechanics of solids, this treatise contains a systematic development of the fundamentals of finite inelastic deformations of heterogeneous materials. The book combines the mathematical rigor of solid mechanics with the physics-based micro-structural understanding of materials science, to present a coherent picture of finite inelastic deformation of single- and poly-crystal metals over broad ranges of strain rates and temperatures. It also includes a similarly rigorous and experimentally based development of the quasi-static deformation of cohesionless granular materials that support the applied loads through contract friction."--BOOK JACKET |
