Product Description
This book describes the theoretical foundations of inelasticity, its numerical formulation and implementation. The subject matter described herein constitutes a representative sample of state-of-the- art methodology currently used in inelastic calculations. Among the numerous topics covered are small deformation plasticity and viscoplasticity, convex optimization theory, integration algorithms for the constitutive equation of plasticity and viscoplasticity, the variational setting of boundary value problems and discretization by finite element methods. Also addressed are the generalization of the theory to non-smooth yield surface, mathematical numerical analysis issues of general return mapping algorithms, the generalization to finite-strain inelasticity theory, objective integration algorithms for rate constitutive equations, the theory of hyperelastic-based plasticity models and small and large deformation viscoelasticity. Computational Inelasticity will be of great interest to researchers and graduate students in various branches of engineering, especially civil, aeronautical and mechanical, and applied mathematics.

 Good for reference but difficult to first time learners, 2008-05-20
Pros: gives numerical solution algorithms for isotropic and kinematic hardening, etc; covers a wide range of plasticity problems.
Cons: lack of detailed step by step deduction for some important equations, difficult to swallow by first time learners

 very complete and useful, 2007-07-25
I bought this book several years ago, and keep going back and study more in it. As usual, I didn't read it from front to back. Instead I started from the middle, jumped around and then settled for chapter 7. That's mainly a review of continuum mechanics, and one of the reasons I keep this book handy. It is very comprehensive and very clear. I think the reason Simo and Hughes could explain things so clear is because they just really deeply understood it. There is hardly any superfluous talking or name dropping, it's all just clear, well printed math and neat little diagrams that lets you get the point. Somehow I understood chapters 8 and 9 much better by first reading chapter 10 on nonlinear viscoelasticity, finally getting the idea of dissipative processes in solids, and how one can actually compute all this. Recently I studied more of the first part of the book: finally this stuff about yield surfaces makes sense. It's a real mystery buster. Another thing that makes this book very useful are the boxes: detailed algorithms, neatly printed, that actually work if you turn them into computer code. In general, this book is not for total beginners, but if you understand the very basic mathematical underpinnings for continuum mechanics, this will bring you to the next level. If you get stuck, read around in other books, but go back to this one, because that's were you will understand.

Absolutely amazing, 2006-09-30
I strongly recommend this book. It gives insights that no other books give. A solid mathematical background and a wide scope are the fundamental book characteristics.

Absolutely Accept No Substitute, 2002-06-24
This book is really well organised, and the theory is well presented, particularly Chapter 1. It is among the few which I highly recommend, and it is value for money.
