Strain localization in an orthotropic material with plastic spin (Q1905448)

The formation and development of strain localization via shear banding is examined for an orthotropic material for the purpose of studying the effect of the plastic spin and the anisotropy upon the strain localization. First, the material instability analysis is carried out for an orthotropic elastoplastic material with plastic spin. By way of finite element analysis, full numerical solution is next obtained for plane strain block of an elastoviscoplastic material under tension or compression, and the shear band development is simulated.
