= Coopmans approximation
{wiki=Coopmans_approximation}
Coopmans approximation is a method used in the field of solid mechanics and materials science, particularly in the context of plasticity and yield criteria. It is often associated with the study of the mechanical behavior of materials under various loading conditions, especially when dealing with non-linear material behavior such as yielding and plastic deformation. In essence, Coopmans approximation allows one to simplify the complex behavior of materials by approximating the yield surface and the subsequent flow rules governing plastic deformation.
