A family of model problems in plasticity

Non-Linear Problems, Bifurcation

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 704)

Abstract

We look for the simplest configuration which will lead to the problems most characteristic of plasticity—the contrast between incremental flow laws and deformation theory, and between the collapse of a perfectly plastic structure and its continued stresses and strains when hardening is allowed. The problems are to be continuous rather than discrete, and not one-dimensional; they will be governed by linear partial differential equations with inequality constraints. Each has a primal form in which the stresses are the unknowns, and a dual in terms of velocities or displacements. Our main goal is to clarify these different possibilities, in the case known as antiplane shear.
