Simplified Theory of Plastic Zones

Viac o knihe

Focusing on a novel approach to estimating elastic-plastic strains, this book introduces the Simplified Theory of Plastic Zones (STPZ), which aids in life prediction for structures under variable loads in mechanical and civil engineering. It details how STPZ allows for the assessment of cyclically accumulated deformation and elastic-plastic strain ranges. Designed for both scientists and engineers, the text includes numerous illustrations and examples to enhance comprehension of the method's capabilities and limitations.
