On the effect of plastic spin on large strain elastic-plastic torsion of solid bars (Q1208980)

A class of combined isotropic-kinematic hardening models is formulated, which includes two alternative constitutive equations for the plastic spin. The various sets of constitutive equations are used to analyze the large strain torsion of solid circular bars with either axially fixed ends or free ends. These analyses are carried out numerically using special finite elements and, when feasible for particular cases, by means of a semianalytical method.
