Inelastic Deformation in Metals and Contacts: Comprehensive Treatises on Yielding and Hardening, the Yield Phenomenon and Dissipation

Inelastic deformation is a common but often neglected phenomenon in experimental analysis of metal deformation and in contacts. This neglect leads to degraded measurement accuracy of material properties. Therefore a need arises for material models that a priori incorporate inelasticity. These material models must be simple and comprehensive to...
