The book Theory of Perfectly Plastic Solids by William Prager and Philip G. Hodge, Jr. is a 1951 publication by John Wiley & Sons. This book is not an exhaustive treatise on the general theory of plasticity. Rather it is an introduction – the first in English to be written on an intermediate level – to the particular branch of the general theory known as the theory of perfectly plastic solids.The authors cover this branch because it has most nearly taken definitive form, and because numerous results of practical importance are now available or within reach. Plastic Solids was originally scheduled for publication in 1950, the authors delayed the printing until 1951 so that important findings which greatly improve the presentation of theory might be included. These findings cover important results in limit analysis, results which shed new light on the relations between the theories of v. Mises and Prandtl-Reuss.First Edition.
