Abstract
This is an opportune time in the development of the subject of plasticity, to which Professor Rabotnov has made so many pioneering contributions, for a review of the past, an assessment of the current state of affairs, and a projection into the future. Extensive application now is made routinely of the well-established techniques and concepts of basic plasticity theory to a host of practical problems of analysis and design in aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering. Engineering practice will continue to absorb the advances made through research as those advances are clarified and sufficiently simplified for use by those who are not experts in the field.
