Title: On the Evolution of Plasticity and Incompatibility

Journal Article · · Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, vol. 12, no. 6, December 1, 2007, pp. 583-610
OSTI ID:972839

The phenomenological theory of elastic-plastic deformations is reconsidered in the light of recent opinion regarding the constitutive character of their constituent elastic and plastic components. The primary role of dissipation in the physics of plastic evolution is emphasized and shown to lead to the clarification of a number of open questions. Particular attention is given to the invariance properties of the elastic and plastic deformations, to the kinematics of discontinuities, and to the role of material symmetry in restricting constitutive equations for elastic response, yield and plastic evolution.
