Features: This book first establishes the physical concepts in plastic mechanics through analyzing problems in simple stress states, and then gradually extends the relevant basic concepts to complex stress states. The difficulties are dispersed, progressing from simple to complex, making it an introductory textbook that is easy for beginners to understand. Published in 1982, it won the second prize of the National Education Commission's Excellent Teaching Material Award in 1988. The revised edition incorporates significant modifications based on the research progress in plastic mechanics over the past two decades in China and abroad, as well as the author's long-term teaching and research experience. It enhances the accuracy of basic concepts and problem formulations, as well as the rigor of the theory, making it a valuable reference for faculty and students in mechanics and related fields of science and engineering, as well as for scientific and technical personnel.
