Provides a new method to estimate elastic plastic
Presents deformation via a series of a number of linear elastic analyses
Allows estimating quantities required for life assessments of structures such as strain ranges and deformations accumulated through a number of loading cycles with little computational effort
Presents the theory in a comprehensive manner, illustrated by many examples

The present book provides a new method to estimate elastic plastic. It presents deformation via a series of a number of linear elastic analyses. For a life prediction of structures subjected to variable loads, frequently encountered in mechanical and civil engineering, the cyclically accumulated deformation and the elastic plastic strain ranges are required. The Simplified Theory of Plastic Zones (STPZ) is a direct method which provides the estimates of these and all other mechanical quantities in the state of elastic and plastic shakedown. The STPZ is described in detail, with emphasis on the fact that not only scientists but engineers working in applied fields and advanced students are able to get an idea of the possibilities and limitations of the STPZ. Numerous illustrations and examples are provided to support the reader's understanding.
