This comprehensive textbook serves as a fundamental resource for university curricula in solid body mechanics, while also delving into the cutting-edge advancements of research in the mechanics of elastic and non-elastic materials. The latter objective of the book is accomplished through an extensive array of bibliographic references, many of which originate from the authors' own work. Unlike similar texts, this volume does not assert the existence of a singular universal theory of plasticity. Nevertheless, it provides solutions to various novel problems and the development of models that hold significant value in both pedagogical and practical contexts for professional design engineers. Examples include the authors' considerations regarding the Brazilian test, stability of rock exposure, and pile foundations. Tailored for upper-level university students and experts in the field of deformable hard body mechanics, the material presented in this book serves as a valuable source for a wide range of course and diploma concentration topics.
