MULTI-SLIP AND NON-LOCAL EVOLUTION EQUATIONS IN FINITE ELASTO-PLASTIC MATERIALS WITH DISLOCATIONS
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2015, Vol 60, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper deals with elasto-plastic models which describe the behaviour at large strain of materials with crystalline structure, which contain continuously distributed dislocations. The non-local evolution equations for dislocation densities are derived to be compatible with the the principle of free energy imbalance, when a nonSchmid flow rule describes the evolution of the plastic distortion within the crystalographic systems. We analyze the constitutive restrictions that follow from the principle of the free energy imbalance for the case when the free energy density is dependent on the scalar dislocation densities and their gradients, and for a more general case when the influence of the tensorial measure of dislocations is considered too.

EIGENVALUE ANALYSIS OF CURVED SANDWICH PANELS LOADED IN UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION
An energy formulation of a simply supported cylindrically curved sandwich panel loaded in compression is introduced and the corresponding potential energy function is evaluated. The mechanical model of a cylindrically cu...
VIBRATIONS ANALYSIS OF A MECHANICAL SYSTEM CONSISTING OF TWO IDENTICAL PARTS
In many technical applications (like those in automotive engineering or in structural mechanics) the mechanical system studied can be considered composed by two or many identical subsystems or parts. These kind of symmet...
A NUMERICAL ASYMPTOTIC FORMULATION FOR THE POST-BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES IN CASE OF COUPLED INSTABILITY
The analysis of slender structures, characterized by complex buckling and postbuckling phenomena and by a strong imperfection sensitivity, is heavily penalized by the lack of adequate computational tools. Standard increm...
