Abstract: Thermally activated mechanisms of dislocation motion and interaction account for the dependence of stress on strain, temperature, and time during plastic deformation. Much of the recent activity ...

Abstract: Bounds are established on the errors associated with elastic-plastic strain wave measurements involving finite gage lengths. Attention is restricted to the case of one-dimensional wave propagation ...

Abstract: The plastic inversion of a simply supported conical shell is considered. The shell is loaded through a rigid central collar. The material is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic and to obey ...
