Abstract: A generalization of current theories of plasticity is developed. The theory, applicable to arbitrary multiaxial loading histories, requires a strain controlled uniaxial cyclic experiment to specify ...

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: Extensive experimental evidence indicates that yield surfaces exhibit significant anisotropic hardening. Subsequent yield surfaces are both translated and deformed in stress space. A viscoplasticity ...

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: This investigation is concerned with the analysis of combined longitudinal and torsional inelastic stress wave propagation in thin-walled tubes. The effects of radial inertia are included in the ...
