This book gives an introduction to computational plasticity and includes the kinematics of large deformations, together with relevant continuum mechanics. Central to the book is its focus on computational plasticity, and we cover an introduction to the finite element method which includes both quasi-static and dynamic problems. We then go on to describe explicit and implicit implementations of plasticity models in to finite element software.

Providing the essential theoretical framework for understanding elastoplastic behaviour, this text develops the subject of small strain elastoplasticity from classical theory to modern computational techniques.

Beyond the linear elastic range lies nonlinear stress-strain behavior otherwise known as plastic behavior or plasticity. Concern for nonlinear stress-strain behavior apparently surfaced in the mid-1800s with questions about how the bar buckling load is properly analyzed. Those questions were not resolved until Shanley's landmark paper of 1947.
