Cyclic Plasticity of Engineering Materials: Experiments and Models comprehensively introduces experimental observations and constitutive models of cyclic plasticity for materials, and applies this to fatigue life prediction and reliability assessment of engineering structures. It includes new developments in the field of cyclic plasticity and demonstrates how cyclic constitutive modelling has been successfully applied to advanced and smart materials.
Cyclic Plasticity of Engineering Materials: Experiments and Models provides the fundamental theoretical background for cyclic plasticity as applied to fatigue and reliability assessments, and is also illustrated with practical examples.
