Abstract: A new approach to large strain plasticity problems in which the material is considered to behave in a plastic-elastic fashion, instead of as a plastic-rigid body, is applied to the axisymmetric ...

Abstract: The classical slip line field solution for a two-dimensional punch is found to give a constraint factor (2.57) which is too small when the specimen beneath the punch is extensive. A new ...

Abstract: The test in which a simple penny shaped disk is loaded along a diameter until it splits is a simple one to perform on brittle materials. However, the interpretation of the results obtained ...
