Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews of the authors' previous title: '... this reviewer liked Elasticity and Geomechanics... The writing style is informal and reads easily ... If an instructor is looking for a book on basic elasticity with a geomaterial focus, this reviewer would encourage that instructor to look at this work; he or she might be pleasantly surprised.' E. B. Pitman, Applied Mechanics Review
'By combining their extensive writing and teaching experiences, Davis and Selvadurai bring together in one volume much that is useful. ... The authors have kept the presentation simple and straightforward ... Overall, a pleasantly readable book. Highly recommended ...'. P. C. Chan, Choice
'Students in the fields of geotechnical/geological engineering, as well as other related earth science programs, will truly benefit from this text ...'. M. Pacheo, Engineering Geology
Book Description
Plasticity and Geomechanics is a concise introduction to the general subject of plasticity with a particular emphasis on applications in geomechanics. Derived from the authors' lecture notes, this book is written with students firmly in mind. Excessive use of mathematical methods is avoided and, where possible, physical interpretations are given for important concepts. The authors present a clear introduction to the complex ideas and concepts of plasticity and demonstrate how this developing subject is of critical importance to geomechanics and geotechnical engineering.
