Abstract: A review of the present approaches to Cosserat plasticity and to its applications is presented, in comparison with the direct Theory of the Plastic Spin. In both theories, the classical ...

Abstract: Based on Kirchhoff’s plate theory a model is developed to estimate the onset of thermoelastic instabilities (TEI) in axisymmetric sliding systems consisting of plate components such as automotive ...

Abstract: Free plastic forming of a slender part means that an initially straight bar, clamped at its both ends, is bent and twisted by an appropriate motion of the end supports only. Emphasis is ...
