Flow plasticity is a solid mechanics theory that is used to describe the plastic behavior of materials. Flow plasticity theories are characterized by the assumption that a flow rule exists that can be used to determine the amount of plastic deformation in the material. In flow plasticity theories it is assumed that the total strain in a body can be decomposed additively (or multiplicatively) into an elastic part and a plastic part. The elastic part of the strain can be computed from a linear elastic or hyperelastic constitutive model. However, determination of the plastic part of the strain requires a flow rule and a hardening model. == Small deformation theory == Typical flow plasticity theories (for small deformation perfect plasticity or hardening plasticity) are developed on the basis of the following requirements: # The material has a linear elastic range. # The material has an elastic limit defined as the stress at which plastic deformation first takes place, i.e., . # Beyond the elastic limit the stress state always remains on the yield surface, i.e., . # Loading is defined as the situation under which increments of stress are greater than zero, i.e., . If loading takes the stress state to the plastic domain then the increment of plastic strain is always greater than zero, i.e., . # Unloading is defined as the situation under which increments of stress are less than zero, i.e., . The material is elastic during unloading and no additional plastic strain is accumulated. # The total strain is a linear combination of the elastic and plastic parts, i.e., . The plastic part cannot be recovered while the elastic part is fully recoverable. # The work done of a loading-unloading cycle is positive or zero, i.e., . This is also called the Drucker stability postulate and eliminates the possibility of strain softening behavior. The above requirements can be expressed in three dimensions as follows. * Elasticity (Hooke's law). In the linear elastic regime the stresses and strains in the rock are related by ::: :::where the stiffness matrix is constant. * Elastic limit (Yield surface). The elastic limit is defined by a yield surface that does not depend on the plastic strain and has the form ::: * Beyond the elastic limit. For strain hardening rocks, the yield surface evolves with increasing plastic strain and the elastic limit changes. The evolving yield surface has the form ::: * Loading. It is not straightforward to translate the condition to three dimensions, particularly for rock plasticity which is dependent not only on the deviatoric stress but also on the mean stress. However, during loading and it is assumed that the direction of plastic strain is identical to the normal to the yield surface () and that , i.e., ::: * Stability postulate: The stability postulate is expressed as ::: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flow plasticity theory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
