Abstract
Making use of the fact that the limit state does not depend on the loading history, the author proposes that limit analysis theory be used to investigate plastic flow processes associated with a change in initial geometry by representing the deformation process as a continuous sequence of limit states defined by a given instantaneous configuration.
