1. Introduction
2. Foundations of the theory
3. General theorems
4. The solution of plastic-elastic problems I
5. The solution of plastic-elastic problems II
6. Plane plastic strain and the theory of the slip-line field
7. Two-dimensional problems of steady motion
8. Non-steady motion problems of steady motion
9. Non-steady motion problems in two dimensions II
10. Axial symmetry
11. Miscellaneous topics
12. Platic anisotropy
The author...has done his work so well that it is difficult to see how it could be bettered. The book should rank for many years as an authoritative source for reference. --
