This book provides a modern and comprehensive approach to metal forming plasticity. The contents supply readers with an up-to-date review of elementary concepts of metal forming plasticity, the necessary background material on continuum mechanics, and a discussion of the classical theories of metal forming plasticity. Final chapters introduce the fundamentals of sensitivity in metal forming and stochastic metal forming plasticity. Theory of Metal Forming Plasticity will be of particular interest to graduate students and researchers working on plasticity in departments of engineering mechanics, materials and mechanical engineering.
