A Study on the ‘Compatiblity Assumption’ of Contemporary Multiplicative Plasicity Models

Abstract

Contemporary multiplicative plasticity models are now generally accepted as “proper material models” for modelling plastic behaviour of deformable bodies within the framework of finite-strain elastoplasticity. The models are based on the assumptions that the intermediate configuration of the body is stress-free or locally unstressed, for which no plastic deformation exists that meets the conditions of compatibility. The assumption; however, has never really been questioned nor justified, but was rather taken as an axiom and therefore considered to be generally true. In this study, we take a critical look at the assumption from both, physical and mathematical points of view, in order to investigate whether contemporary multiplicative plasticity models are indeed continuum based and if there are alternatives to them.

Glaucoma vs. Biomechanical Properties of Cornea

“…From the point of mechanics, the cornea can be represented by a thin walled membrane subjected to internal pressurein our case with IOP. The stiffness matrix of the given membrane with constant thickness in terms of finite element method (FEM) [18,19,20] can be calculated as…”

“…Plastic deformations in the chip forming zones are substantially dependent on shear fracture resistance [16]. Diffuse processes that affect the resistance of the machined layer are most actively implemented at this place.…”
