Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Methods: in Materials Science and Engineering

by Franz Roters, Philip Eisenlohr, Thomas R. Bieler

Written by the leading experts in computational materials science, this handy reference concisely reviews the most important aspects of plasticity constitutive laws, phase transformations, texture methods, continuum approaches and damage mechanisms. As a result, it provides the knowledge needed to avoid failures in critical systems udner mechanical load.
With its various application examples to micro- and macrostructure mechanics, this is an invaluable resource for mechanical engineers as well as for researchers wanting to improve on this method and extend its outreach.
