Analysis of the plastic zone at the corner point of interface

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

A symmetric problem of elasticity is formulated to analyze the plastic zone at the corner point of the interface between two isotropic media. The piecewise-homogeneous isotropic body with an interface in the form of angle sides consists of different elastic parts joined by a thin elastoplastic layer. The plastic zone is modeled by discontinuity lines of tangential displacement, which are located at the interface. The exact solution of the problem is found using the Wiener–Hopf method and is then used to determine the length of the plastic zone. The stress at the corner point is analyzed
