The present paper provides a semianalytic solution for finite plane strain bending under tension of an incompressible elastic/plastic sheet using a material model that combines isotropic and kinematic hardening. A numerical treatment is only necessary to solve transcendental equations and evaluate ordinary integrals. An arbitrary function of the equivalent plastic strain controls isotropic hardening, and Prager’s law describes kinematic hardening. In general, the sheet consists of one elastic and two plastic regions. The solution is valid if the size of each plastic region increases. Parameters involved in the constitutive equations determine which of the plastic regions reaches its maximum size. The thickness of the elastic region is quite narrow when the present solution breaks down. Elastic unloading is also considered. A numerical example illustrates the general solution assuming that the tensile force is given, including pure bending as a particular case. This numerical solution demonstrates a significant effect of the parameter involved in Prager’s law on the bending moment and the distribution of stresses at loading, but a small effect on the distribution of residual stresses after unloading. This parameter also affects the range of validity of the solution that predicts purely elastic unloading.

A plane-strain study of steady sliding by a smooth rigid indentor at any constant speed on a class of orthotropic or transversely isotropic half-spaces is performed. Exact solutions for the full displacement fields are constructed, and applied to the case of the generic parabolic indentor. The closed-form results obtained confirm previous observations that physically acceptable solutions arise for sliding speeds below the Rayleigh speed, for a single critical transonic speed, and for all supersonic speeds. Continuity of contact zone traction is lost for the latter two cases. Calculations for five representative materials indicate that contact zone width achieves minimum values at high, but not critical, subsonic sliding speeds. A key feature of the analysis is the factorization that gives, despite anisotropy, solution expressions that are rather simple in form. In particular, a compact function of the Rayleigh-type emerges that leads to a simple exact formula for the Rayleigh speed itself.

The induced magnetic fields generated by a line mechanical singularity in a magnetized elastic half plane are investigated in this paper. One version of linear theory for soft ferromagnetic elastic solids which has been developed by Pao and Yeh (1973) is adopted to analyze the plane strain problem undertaken. By applying the Fourier transform technique, the exact solutions for the generated magnetic inductions due to various mechanical singularities such as a single force, a dipole, and single couple are obtained in a closed form. The distributions of the generated inductions on the surface are shown with figures.

The exact solution is given for a line load acting on a half space of a power-law elastic material under conditions of plane stress. This solution is compared with the corresponding solution under plane-strain conditions; see Aruliunian [1]. A marked difference is found between the plane-stress and plane-strain fields for different values of the hardening exponent.

For elastic deformations beyond the range of the classical infinitesimal theory of elasticity, the governing differential equations are non-linear in form, and orthodox methods of solution are not usually applicable. Simplifying features appear, however, when a restriction is imposed either upon the form of the deformation, or upon the form of strain-energy function employed to define the elastic properties of the material. Thus in the problems of torsion and flexure considered by Rivlin (4, 5, 6) it is possible to avoid introducing partial differential equations into the analysis, while in the theory of finite plane strain developed by Adkins, Green and Shield (1) the reduction in the number of dependent and independent variables involved introduces some measure of simplicity. Some further simplification is achieved when the strain-energy function can be considered as a linear function of the strain invariants as postulated by Mooney(2) for incompressible materials. In the present paper the plane-strain equations for a Mooney material are reduced to symmetrical forms which do not involve the stress components, and some special solutions of these equations are derived.
