1cLtTE Ae+)RBpc This book is based on the lecture notes of courses given by the author over the
d(T4 Kd$r last decade at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg and the Technical
/o9T [ ^\ University of Berlin. Since the author is concerned with researching material theory
G%<}TI1} and, in particular, elasto-plasticity, these courses were intended to bring the
9=%zd z2_S students close to the frontiers of today's knowledge in this particular field, an
` p\=NP!n opportunity now offered also to the reader.
BB B@M The reader should be familiar with vectors and matrices, and with the basics of
|h>PUt@LL calculus and analysis. Concerning mechanics, the book starts right from the beginning
dAh.I3 without assuming much knowledge of the subject. Hence, the text should
W)In.?>]W be generally comprehensible to all engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and
cz>,sz~i others.
Ke\\B o, At the beginning of each new section, a brief Comment on the Literature contains
5ilGWkb`'X recommendations for further reading. Throughout the text we quote only the
F4EAC|Y important contributions to the subject matter. We are far from being complete or
?Z7`TnG$uf exhaustive in our references, and we apologise to any colleagues not mentioned in
Wwq:\C spite of their important contributions to the particular items.
