Large Plastic Deformation of Crystalline Aggregates [Paperback]

The book gives a comprehensive view of the present ability to take into account the microstructure and texture evolution in building up engineering models of the plastic behaviour of polycrystalline materials at large strains. It is designed for postgraduate students, research engineers and academics that are interested in using advanced models of the mechanical behaviour of polycrystalline materials.H.P.

This book presents in a nicely written text lectures delivered at a CISM session organized in Udine, Italy (1996) by the editor C. Teodosiu. In a rather concise form it succeeds to present various and rich facets of the modelling of plastic deformations in crystalline aggregates, in contrast, or complement, to the finite-strain theory of single crystals ...
