Abstract: Solutions are obtained for annular disks and tubes made of a linearly strain-hardened material, loaded by a uniform tensile load on the outer boundary. The strain-hardening is assumed to follow ...

Abstract: The response of an impulsively loaded, isotropically rate-sensitive annular plate is calculated via “exact” and approximate viewpoints. For a typical example, numerical results differed by about ...

Abstract: In an attempt to assess more completely rate-sensitive material effects, two fundamental structural elements are analyzed: A wire with an impulsively loaded end mass, and an impulsively loaded ...

Abstract: A consistent kinematic hardening theory termed complete hardening, based on a Tresca initial yield condition, has been applied to determine the general flow laws for rotationally symmetric shells. ...
