1. Soft metals are of service to man in many ways, extended use following each advance in knowledge. The present investigation had its origin in an attempt to account analytically for the many apparently irreconcilable properties exhibited by right circular cylinders of soft copper when subjected to appreciable strain under heavy crushing loads. During the course of the work it became clear that if advance at all were to be made general methods of analysis would require to be adopted ; and that results forthcoming would be applicable to materials, of a similar nature, other than the one directly used as a standard of comparison. The presentation of the subject matter has accordingly been arranged to give prominence to theoretical and rational aspects, references to experiment being rather for comparison than for support to the argument. Two publications will be found of service in the present connection, the one illustrative of a cogent point in the theory, the other descriptive of practice. They will be referred to as I, and II, respectively.
