      abstract = {This book provides an overview of direct methods, such as  limit and shakedown analysis, which are intended for  avoiding cumbersome step-by-step calculations to determine  the limit states of mechanical structures under monotone,  cyclic or variable actions with unknown loading history.  The book comprises several contributions that demonstrate  how tremendous advances in numerical methods, especially in  optimization, have contributed to the success of direct  methods and their applicability to practical engineering  problems in structural mechanics and mechanics of  materials. The contents reflect the outcomes of the  workshop "Direct Methods for Limit State of Materials and  Structures," held in Cosenza, Italy in June 2022.},
