Product Description
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. Throughout the book, we describe the general, multiaxial form of the theory but uniquely, wherever possible, reduce the equations to their simplest, uniaxial form to develop understanding of the general theory and we hope physical insight. We provide several examples of implicit and explicit implementations of von Mises time-independent and visco-plasticity in to the commercial code ABAQUS (including the fortran coding), which should prove invaluable to research students and practicing engineers developing ABAQUS 'UMATs'. The book bridges the gap between undergraduate material on plasticity and existing advanced texts on nonlinear computational mechanics, which makes it ideal for students and practicing engineers alike. It introduces a range of engineering applications, including superplasticity, porous plasticity, cyclic plasticity and thermo-mechanical fatigue, to emphasize the subject's relevance and importance.

 Decent, 2007-12-13
This book is decent...the saving grace for the text is that it comes with working ABAQUS UMAT's (available for free on the book website). The authors' explanation of the theory of plasticity leaves a bit to be desired. It's all there, but the explanations get muddy sometimes. I would suggest the computational inelasticity text by Simo and Hughes as an alternative to this book, unless you are specifically looking for examples of UMAT's. ABAQUS gives few examples and even fewer good examples on how to program a user subroutine, and this book did act as a good reference for me during my graduate studies.

 Great Book, 2007-09-02
This is a great book for people who want to understand not only how to implement plasticity in a FEA code, but also to understand the theory of plasticity itself. I understood some ideas in 10 minutes that took days earlier for me..Overall, it is a great book and I was extremely happy that I bought it.

You can download the UMAT Example from Oxford University Press website, 2006-04-06
I do not have this book. However, one effort of this book alone is enough to place it above most others. It includes useful and real examples of UMAT for ABAQUS to demonstrate how one can actually implement the theories. Having been a PhD in solid mechanics, I could have saved months if I had this book when I was in school. Even if you don't buy the book, the programs can be downloaded from publisher's website.
