A structure made of a rigid perfectly plastic material and subjected to more than one independent load is considered. A mode vector is defined for any plastic mechanism and shown to have the same properties relative to the yield-point load interaction surface that the strain-rate vector has to the material yield surface. An application to a circular plate under two independent loads leads to close bounds on the interaction curve.

Three type 304 stainless steel specimens of the same geometry were subjected to complex, cyclic axial-torsional histories characterized by varying degrees of non-proportionality of straining. All tests were at room-temperature. The data from cyclically stable hysteresis loops were reduced and the direction of the plastic strain rate vector, variation of plastic hardening modulus, and direction of translation of a rate and time-independent yield surface were studied. It is shown that the independent variables in a Mroz-type formulation map the experimental results with a higher degree of uniqueness than other popular formulations studied for both the hardening modulus and direction of yield surface translation. Also, the plastic strain rate is not, in general, in the direction of the deviatoric stress or stress rate.

It is well known that in a well-defined load-controlled boundary-value problem for an elastic/perfectly-plastic structure the displacements are unique if the structure is everywhere elastic, and they are not unique at the yield-point load when the structure becomes a mechanism. The present paper is concerned with the range of contained plastic deformation between these two extremes. Several examples are given in which more than one displacement field exists for loads less than the yield-point load. The significance of this phenomenon is commented on from a physical, mathematical, and computational point of view.

A general three-dimensional plasticity theory is presented for describing the plastic flow of homogeneous, isotropic rock. Normality of the deformation-rate vector to the yield surface is incorporated into the stress-deformation rate law used in the theory. The rock is assumed to be perfectly plastic or nonwork-hardening with a dependence of the yield strength on the hydrostatic component of stress. A particular type of yield surface, which is representative of the behavior of rock, is assumed in an application of the theory. The specific problem considered is the solution for the incipient plane flow under a flat lubricated punch.

A thick-walled circular cylinder acted on by pressure, axial end load, and twisting moment is analyzed under the assumption that end effects are negligible. The locus of all load points (interaction surface) for which unaccelerated flow of a perfectly plastic material can occur is found parametrically. Certain special cases are considered and the results compared with those of shell theory.

In the case of rigid/perfectly plastic material, the velocity fields in the vicinity of maximum friction surfaces must be describable by nondifferentiable functions. In particular, the equivalent strain rate follows an inverse square root rule near such surfaces and, therefore, approaches infinity at the surface. Because the equivalent strain rate is involved in many evolution equations for material properties, its behavior near the maximum friction surfaces should lead to high gradients in the material properties near the surface, which is confirmed by experiment. To quantitatively describe the evolution of material properties in the vicinity of surfaces with high friction, the concept of strain rate intensity factor can be adopted.
