Large elasto-plastic deformations for materials with relaxed configurations. II: Role of the complementary plastic factor (Q804348)

This is a continuation of the first part [see the foregoing entry (Zbl 0727.73027)]. Here the previous results have been used to derive the complementary plastic factor. Then, a particular problem of simple shear in elasto-plastic materials with small elastic deformations is attempted to solve. Some simplified results and graphical representations are given. The ultimate aim has been the establishment of the existence and uniqueness of the relevant Cauchy problem. Reviewer feels that such problems of practical nature should lay more stress on their physical characterization rather than on mathematical niceties.
