Reviews

“The book covers an amazingly wide range of issues in elastoplasticity, and in continuum mechanics in general. It is written in modern notation and easily accessible to readers with a minimal background in continuum mechanics and tensor analysis. … Altogether, the book gives an excellent introduction to the vast area of elastoplasticity and can be recommended not only for beginners in the field, but also for senior scientists interested in alternatives to the classical approach.” (Dieter Weichert, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2019)
