This book mainly introduces some basic phenomena and laws of highly
ductile materials during elastoplastic deformation, and their
engineering applications, such as the transfer and relief of stress
concentration in the notch root, the mitigation of possible brittle
fracture, the ductile deformation and damage, fatigue, energy
absorption, plastic buckling, thermal stress problems, etc. It shows a
number of revolutions in modern applications and design, which are
beneficial to the safety of modern equipment, and improve applicability.
In addition, the first three chapters of this book also briefly
introduce the basic knowledge of elastoplastic deformation and analysis
as a preliminary knowledge.
This book can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate students
and postgraduate in non-mechanics majors such as mechanical engineering,
power, material or civil engineering, as well as scholars and engineers
in related fields.
