Cyclic Plasticity of Metals: Modeling Fundamentals and Applications provides an exhaustive overview of the fundamentals and applications of various cyclic plasticity models including forming and spring back, notch analysis, fatigue life prediction, and more. Covering metals with an array of different structures, such as hexagonal close packed (HCP), face centered cubic (FCC), and body centered cubic (BCC), the book starts with an introduction to experimental macroscopic and microscopic observations of cyclic plasticity and then segues into a discussion of the fundamentals of the different cyclic plasticity models, covering topics such as kinematics, stress and strain tensors, elasticity, plastic flow rule, and an array of other concepts. A review of the available models follows, and the book concludes with chapters covering finite element implementation and industrial applications of the various models.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Department, University of Waterloo.
Dr. Roostaei works in the field of cyclic plasticity of metals, specifically magnesium alloys. He has developed a new cyclic plasticity model applicable to wrought magnesium alloys, which exhibit unusual plastic flow characteristics under cyclic conditions. During the model development process he completed a comprehensive review of these models into numerical code for the purpose of comparing the results of his model in similar loading cases. He has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed internationally renowned journals.
