Plasticity and Geomechanics presents a concise introduction to the general subject of plasticity with a particular emphasis on applications in geomechanics. Derived from the authors' own lecture notes, this book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in the fields of soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and geomechanics
