To describe material (steel and concrete are of my interest) non-linearity, I would like to learn the theory of plasticity thoroughly. So far, I haven't dug out a good book to read.
Can any one suggest a classic/good textbook to that? Thanks.
I think a classical book is "Plasticity Theory" by J. Lubliner from an analitycal point of view. A good numerical book is "Nonlinear continuum mechanics for finite element analysis" by Bonet - Wood.

Apart from the very good classic works given above, I would recommenced the book "Introduction to Computational Plasticity by Fionn Dunne, Nik Petrinic. It contains the theory and numerical implementation approaches.
I'd underline the "Plasticity Theory" by J. Lubliner, too. Also I would recommend "Applied Plasticity" by J. Chakrabarty and "Plasticity: Modeling & Computation" by Borja R.I. Hope this helps.
By any chance anyone of you have Fortan codes provided in Appendix B of the book " Introduction to Computational Plasticity by Fionn Dunne, Nik Petrinic". I read this book and I found it very useful. The publisher has made the codes unavailable. I was wondering if anyone has these codes.
I checked the info for the exemplar of the book we have here, and yes, unfortunately, the codes are unavailable. I guess you better write to the publisher and ask for the codes. Please let the community know the results.
