Lumped Parameter

This paper establishes the internal mathematical and energetic consistency of a hybrid-dynamical-system, lumped-parameter, planar, physical model for capturing transient interactions between an elastically deformable tire and an elastically deformable terrain as a baseline result for more realistic models that account for permanent deformation, shear failure, and three-dimensional contact conditions. The model accounts for radial and circumferential deformation of the tire as well as normal and tangential deformation of the terrain. It captures the onset and loss of contact as well as localized stick and slip phases for each of the discrete tire elements by a suitable evolution of a collection of associated internal state variables. The analysis characterizes generic transitions between distinct phases of contact uniquely in forward time and proves that all internal state variables remain bounded during compact intervals of contact. The behavior of the model is further illustrated through an analytical and numerical study of two instances of tire-terrain interactions under steady state condition.

Local Current

We present the microstructural basis, the initial macroscopical formulations, and a possible axiomatic reconstruction of the elastoviscoplastic model for metals based on the use of the local, current, relaxed configurations. Structural analysis and experimental data show that using these configurations offers advantages for the formulation of the material laws when the deformations are small or moderately large. Our review aims to be a concise, historical, and critical exposition of the main stages, contributions and results, which led, during the late sixties and the beginning of seventies, to the formulation of the fundamental ideas lying at the basis of the model. We delineate the role played by Lee, Liu, Teodosiu, Sidoroff, Mandel, and Kratochvil in the first formulation of the theory between 1966 and 1972, as well as the contributions of Dafalias and Loret to the development of the model between 1983 and 1985. Finally, we discuss some results obtained between 1985 and 1988 with models based on local current relaxed configurations.

Evolution Laws

Based on previous work by the authors, a model for anisotropic, kinematic hardening materials is constructed to describe constitutive equations and evolution laws in rate-independent, small deformation plasticity on the basis of thermodynamics. Unlike other theories developed earlier wherein only internal state variables are chosen to describe inelastic deformation, the present paper also considers inelastic strain as an independent variable. This can be shown to reduce to the well-known plastic strain in the case of rate-independent plasticity.

Instantaneous Values

The steady two-dimensional problem of reflexion of an oblique partly dispersed plane shock wave from a plane wall is studied analytically. Viscosity, diffusion and heat conduction are neglected. The thermodynamic state of the gas is assumed to be determined by the instantaneous values of the specific entropy s, pressure p and a finite number of internal state variables. Results for the flow field behind the reflected shock are obtained by a perturbation method which is based on the assumption that the influence of relaxation is relatively weak.
