The Mechanics of Finite Deformation with Applications in Metal Plasticity

Professor Havner's professional career spans 67 years, with almost continuous research funding from 1957 to 1999, including six years in aerospace R&D and nine multi-year National Science Foundation awards (1971-1999) at North Carolina State University, USA (Professor Emeritus since June 1999). He has presented research papers and invited lectures in numerous countries and universities worldwide (1967-2019), with published works in 10 volumes and 17 different journals (1958-2020), including Proceedings of the Royal Society A, Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, Philosophical Magazine, and International Journal of Plasticity. Professor Havner has twice been a Senior Visitor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, UK where, in 1989, he began writing his research monograph, Finite Plastic Deformation of Crystalline Solids, 1992 (Paperback Re-issue, 2008). He began research in finite deformation in 1970 (emphasis on metal plasticity) and taught the subject (among other solid mechanics courses) from 1971 through to Spring 1999.
