Abstract: A theory of anisotropic viscoplasticity is developed. It is compared with and shown to reduce to existing theories under appropriate restrictions. The theory accommodates anisotropic hardening ...

Abstract: Tensile necking in anisotropic bars is analyzed in the spirit of P. W. Bridgman’s treatment of the isotropic case. Anisotropic plastic flow causes an initially axisymmetric bar to develop an ...

Abstract: The uniaxial specialization of a theory of cyclic viscoplasticity is described. The theory incorporates a realistic description of nonlinear stress-strain curves and of transient cyclic hardening ...

Abstract: The flexural response of a three-dimensional (3D) layer-to-layer orthogonal interlocked textile composite has been investigated under quasi-static three-point bending. Fiber tow kinking on the ...
