ON THE USE OF SINGULAR YIELD CONDITIONS AND AASOCIATED FLOW RULES
Abstract
It is well known that the use of Trasca's yield condition frequently leads to a simpler system of equations for the stresses in a plastic solid than the use of the yield condition of Mises. In most cases where Tresca's yield condition has been used for this reason, the flow rule associated with the Nises condition has been retained, however. Following Koiter, it is shown that further simplification results from the use of the flow rule associated with the Tresca condition. The reason for this is discussed in connection with two examples concerning the finite enlargement of a circular hole in an infinite sheet of perfectly plastic or work-hardening material. The second example is probably the first non-trivial case in which a problem of finite plastic deformation of a work-hardening material has been treated in closed form by the use of incremental stress strain relations.
