Damage zones in strain-hardening materials

Mechanics of Materials, 1996
Abstract In this paper, damage distribution and damage zones of a strain hardening material with a crack are investigated. A continuum damage mechanics theory based formulation is developed via hypothesis of incremental complementary energy equivalence.

Multiple Hardening Plasticity for Concrete Materials

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1988
A multiple hardening plasticity model for concrete materials under a general three-dimensional quasi-static loading condition is developed for the progressive failure analysis of concrete structures. The main features of the proposed short-term, time-independent constitutive model include (1) The use of the simple expressions of the Chen-Chen surfaces ...

Redundant Trusses of Elastic-Strain-Hardening Material

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1958
Abstract W. Prager has given a geometric method for the determination of the load-carrying capacity of a redundant truss consisting of elastic, perfectly plastic bars. In the present paper this method is generalized for trusses consisting of elastic-strain-hardening bars with given limit loads in tension and compression.

Rate Type Plastic Material with General Work‐Hardening

ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 1978
AbstractA rate type plastic material is proposed. A scalar internal variable and a symmetric tensor internal variable are introduced. The constitutive and the evolutional equations are invariant for the change of time‐scale. Two sets of equations are assumed for the loading and the unloading state. Three material functions which define equations in the

Shock Propagation in a Strain-Hardening Material

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1969
Weak shock theory is used to analyze the propagation of the stress waves which are induced by nonuniform, instantaneous, internal heating of a nonlinearly elastic, semi-infinite solid. The material nonlinearity considered is caused by the increase in bulk modulus which occurs as the hydrodynamic stress component increases.

Plastic Bending of Work Hardening Materials

Journal of Engineering for Industry, 1982
The plane strain plastic bending of rigid-work hardening materials has been investigated and two models have been proposed. In Model I, a numerical solution based on a linear σ¯ – ε¯ approximation for fibers in reversed loading has been presented. Model II is an extension of Proksa's analysis to the case of materials described by Ludwik's equation.

Fractals in elastic-hardening plastic materials

Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2009
Plastic grains are found to form fractal patterns in elastic-hardening plastic materials in two dimensions, made of locally isotropic grains with random fluctuations in plastic limits or elastic/plastic moduli. The spatial assignment of randomness follows a strict-white-noise random field on a square lattice aggregate of square-shaped grains, whereby ...

Age-Hardenable Electrical Contact-Spring Material

IEEE Transactions on Parts, Materials and Packaging, 1969
There is at present no satisfactory material available that can comply with all three of the most important criteria of a make-break spring contact, i.e. good spring properties, switching capability, and contact-resistance stability. As the result of a development program, a monolithic contact-spring material, composed of an age-hardening silver ...

Hardening parameters of elastic-viscoplastic materials

International Journal of Engineering Science, 1978
Abstract A study by the author [1–3] of the delayed behavior of perturbations in isotropic elastic-viscoplastic media is extended to include usual macroscopic hardening parameters and particular evolution laws proposed in plastic theories. The results obtained are made explicit for some well-known cases where stability conditions and an evaluation of
