Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider a new class of elastoplastic models which are based on the assumption that internal interaction between the continuum particles has affine-metric geometrical structure. From the physical viewpoint, the affine-metric objects are intrinsic thermodynamic variables which describe the evolution of various defect structures in a deformable material and also interaction between themselves and with the field of reversible strains. The analysis performed allows one to establish a relation between the classical mechanical characteristics of elastoplastic materials and the field of dislocation density and other types of defects.
