Stability of flow processes for dissipative solids with internal imperfections (Q1058349): Difference between revisions

The description of the postcritical behaviour of dissipative solids is presented. A simple model of an elastic-viscoplastic material with internal imperfections is proposed. This model is justified by physical mechanisms of polycrystalline matter flow in some regions of temperature and strain rate changes. A model proposed satisfies the requirement that during the deformation process in which the effective strain rate is equal to the assumed static value the response of a material becomes elastic-plastic. The identification procedure for all material functions and constants are based on available experimental data. Both the mechanical test data and physical, metallurgical observations are used. As an example of a quasi-static, isothermal flow process the boundary- initial-value problem describing the necking phenomenon is considered. The problem is formulated in such a way that enables discussion of the influence of strain rate effects, as well as imperfection and diffusion effects on the onset of localization. Comparison of theoretical predictions with available experimental results is given.
