Intended for use by advanced engineering students and practicing engineers, this volume focuses on the plastic deformation of metals at normal temperatures, as applied to the strength of machines and structures. It covers problems associated with the special nature of plastic state and important applications of plasticity theory. 1971 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by North-Holland Publishing Co., Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1971.
