Generalized Plasticity deals with the plasticity of materials and structures. It is an expansion of the "Unified Strength Theory to Plasticity Theory", leading to a unified treatment of metal plasticity and plasticity of geomaterials, generally. It includes the metal plasticity for Tresca materials, Huber-von-Mises materials and twin-shear materials and the geomaterial plasticity for Mohr-Coulomb materials, generalized twin-shear materials and the Unified Strength Theory.

This volume is published to mark the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences and the centenary of the Old Bacteriological Institute building that houses the museum. Hong Kong has transformed from being one of the unhealthiest places in the world to be among those with the best health statistics. The story of how Hong Kong met the challenge of containing infectious diseases shows that much can be achieved despite the citys limitations in size and resources. Hong Kong provided the facilities and support for the discovery in 1894 of the bacterium causing p
