The sole purpose of the Journal is to report original
research on all aspects of plastic deformation of
isotropic as well as anisotropic solids, including the
thermodynamics of plasticity and fracture, continuum
theory, and macroscopic as well as microscopic phenomena.
The topics of interest include plastic behaviour of
single crystals and polycrystalline metals, ceramics,
rocks and soils, composite and polymers, as well as
plasticity aspects of failure and fracture mechanics.
Significant experimental, numerical or theoretical
contributions advancing the understanding of plastic
behaviour of solids are most welcome, together with
studies relating microscopic behaviour of solids.

The Journal will contain research papers, review
articles, research notes, letters to the editor, and
academic advertisements (books, journals, conferences,
and symposia). Strain-rate dependent and strain-rate
independent constitutive models to predict observed
phenomena during quasi-static or dynamic
thermo-mechanical loading, elastic-plastic fracture
mechanics in solids due to quasi-static, dynamic or
cyclic thermo-mechanical loadings, behaviour of granular
or porous solids under high confining pressures and at
high temperatures, and models with capability for
predicting the plastic behaviour of composite materials
based on known plastic behaviour of matrix and fibers in
such materials, are some examples of the main themes of
this journal. Revealing applications of the new models of
plasticity are also welcome.
