Plasticity and Beyond

• A discrete two-scale homogenization scheme of micro-macro-transition procedure: The FE2-method.- Variational modeling of microstructures in plasticity.- Micromorphic approach to crystal plasticity and phase transformation.- Formation of deformation substructures observed in ductile materials.- On scale-dependent crystal plasticity models.- Construction of statistically similar representative volume elements.

From the book reviews: "The present volume covers a wide spectrum of aspects pertaining to the analysis of elastoplastic behavior of materials, including the microstructure and scale effects. ... The book is recommended for use by graduate students, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and researchers working in the above areas. The reviewer believes it to be a useful addition to the understanding and analysis of the complex elastoplastic behavior of materials." (V. K. Arya, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2015)
