Course Objectives	This course aims at a better understanding and formulation of plastic deformation of metals. It also discusses the role of microstructure and thermodynamics in plastic deformation. Different rules and models are discussed in details together with their mathematical representation including Maximum dissipation and normality rule, hardening rules, Non-associated flow rules. Slip line theory is discussed.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Mathematical preliminaries; stress and strain; constitutive responses; physics of plasticity; application of plasticity theory for different materials; Formulation of rate-independent plasticity; maximum dissipation postulate; yield criteria; flow rules and hardening rules; uniqueness theorems; extremum principles in plasticity; limit analysis; shakedown theorems; plane problems in plasticity; slip line theory and its applications; plastic stability; plastic buckling; global and local criteria of plastic stability; strain localization and shear bands; dynamic plasticity
Course Content	Vector and tensor calculus; general concepts about mechanics of materials - stress and strain concept; continuum deformation: displacement, strain and compatibility conditions; mechanics of continuous bodies: stress and stress equation of motion; elastic constitutive relations; inelastic constitutive relations; yield criteria, flow rules and hardening.
