Dear All,
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new Elsevier journal launched in 2015. The journal is devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain.
Despite the controversial debates concerning a unified theory, the continuum plasticity has evolved during the last few decades and an uncountable number of articles has been published on the subject. The proposal of Lee to decompose the deformation gradient, F, into elastic part Fe and plastic part Fp (i.e. F=FeFp) combined with the principle of maximum plastic dissipation is used in many publications to formulate the ensuing developments.
I am happy to recommend the following book for your general reading.
