Advanced Elasticity and Plasticity is a course for graduate students in Civil Engineering. This course provides advanced theories and methods for solving stress, strain and displacements of structures in elasticity and plasticity, so as to check the strength, rigidity and stability of structures, and to provide the foundation in order to improve the structural performance.

Main contents: Stress analysis; Strain analysis; Equations for elastic problems; Solution for plane problem in cartesian coordinates; Solution for plane problem in polar coordinates; Yielding criteria; Plastic constitutive relations; Simple elasto-plastic problems; Plane-strain problem for ideal rigid-plastic materials.    .
