"Plasticity of Pressure-Sensitive Materials" by Holm Altenbach, Andreas Öchsner is a physics book focused on Dynamics. Best for students, educators, and scientifically curious readers.

Classical plasticity theory of metals is independent of the hydrostatic pressure. However if the metal contains voids or pores or if the structure is composed of cells, this classical assumption is no more valid and the influence of the hydrostatic pressure must be incorporated in the constitutive description. Looking at the microlevel, metal plasticity is connected with the uniform planes of atoms organized with long-range order. Planes may slip past each other along their close-packed directions. The result is a permanent change of shape within the crystal and plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations increases the likelihood of planes slipping. Nowadays, the theory of pressure sensitive plasticity is successfully applied to many other important classes of materials (polymers, concrete, bones etc.) even if the phenomena on the micro-level are different to classical plasticity of metals. The theoretical background of this phenomenological approach based on observations on the macro-level is described in detail in this monograph and applied to a wide range of different important materials in the last part of this book.

Best For: Students and researchers in mechanical engineering and materials science focusing on material behavior under pressure.
Focus: The book focuses on the plasticity theory of pressure-sensitive materials, particularly metals with voids, pores, or cellular structures, and the role of hydrostatic pressure in their constitutive behavior.
Covers: It covers the limitations of classical plasticity theory for metals and introduces the influence of hydrostatic pressure on plastic deformation at the microstructural level.
Why It Matters: Understanding how pressure affects plasticity in materials with complex internal structures is important for accurate modeling and engineering applications involving such materials.
