DESCRIPTION:
It follows the macroscopic, phenomenological approach, which proposes equations abstracted from generally accepted experimental facts, studies the adequacy of the consequences drawn from these equations to those facts, and then provides useful tools for designers and engineers. Many examples of plasticity and fracture are presented, and each chapter concludes with problems for students.. This book concentrates on the mathematical theory of plasticity and fracture, and presents it in a thermomechanical framework

It has obvious pedagogical appeal. The reviewer strongly recommends that." Miroslav Silhavy, Mathematical Reviews . "One could characterize the style of the book as 'robust'. In the introduction the author expresses his hope that the book will find its place both on the student's shelf and in the professional scientist's office
Mechanics on a sound thermodynamic basis Lance C. Hibbeler Mechanician Gerard Maugin goes about describing the thermodynamic basis of continuum mechanics, focusing on small-strain elasto-plasticity and fracture, and taking a mathematical viewpoint. You would do well to have a background in continuum mechanics and possibly some functional analysis; Maugin makes heavy use of tensors and their accompanying indicial notation, and there are proofs that enlist the help of variational principles. That being said, I found this book to be an enlightening a. "this book is so hard to understand" according to A Customer. This book is very hard to understand particularly because of the strange notaion used. The subject of the book is very good, and I couldnt find a parallel book anywhere else, so I am still diggning hard to get few ideas across.
