TAM 7570 Inelasticity
Fall. 3 credits.
Plasticity: dislocations and slip systems; early experimental observations; torsion and bending of bars; inflation of thick cylinders and spheres; general equations governing yielding, flow and work hardening; solution of general boundary value problems; numerical solutions radial return and the consistent tangent operator. Linear viscoelasticity: simple rheological models; correspondence principle; hereditary integral approach; torsion and bending of bars; inflation of thick cylinders and spheres; solution of general quasi-static boundary value problems; thermoviscoelasticity, wave propagation.
