Emphasis is placed on the use of potentials and the derivation of incremental response, necessary for numerical analysis. The derivation of constitutive models for irreversible behaviour entirely from two scalar potentials is shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of potentials allows models to be very simply defined, classified and, if necessary, developed and it permits dependent and independent variables to be interchanged, making possible different forms of a model for different applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theory is extended to include treatment of rate-dependent materials and a powerful concept, in which a single plastic strain is replaced by a plastic strain function, allowing smooth transitions between elastic and plastic behaviour is introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis monograph will benefit academic researchers in mechanics, civil engineering and geomechanics and practising geotechnical engineers; it will also interest numerical analysts in engineering mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-10-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781849965637\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-84628-240-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 351\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149034098828,"sku":"9781849965637","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781849965637.jpg?v=1779569776","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781849965637","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
