Abstract
AS the author rightly claims in the preface, the chief reason for writing a book on the theory of plasticity is to direct attention to its importance—from the engineering point of view equal to that of the theory of elasticity. Nevertheless, to be of real value, such a book must review the state of knowledge of the subject as a whole, or, on a smaller scale, provide an introduction to the subject, dealing only with well-established theoretical and experimental results.
