Strain localization analysis for orthotropic-associated plasticity in cohesive–frictional materials is addressed in this work. Specifically, the localization condition is derived from Maxwell’s kinematics, the plastic flow rule and the boundedness of stress rates. The analysis is applicable to strong and regularized discontinuity settings. Expanding on previous works, the quadratic orthotropic Hoffman and Tsai–Wu models are investigated and compared to pressure insensitive and sensitive models such as von Mises, Hill and Drucker–Prager. Analytical localization angles are obtained in uniaxial tension and compression under plane stress and plane strain conditions. These are only dependent on the plastic potential adopted; ensuing, a geometrical interpretation in the stress space is offered. The analytical results are then validated by independent numerical simulations. The B-bar finite element is used to deal with the limiting incompressibility in the purely isochoric plastic flow. For a strip under vertical stretching in plane stress and plane strain as well as Prandtl’s problem of indentation by a flat rigid die in plane strain, numerical results are presented for both isotropic and orthotropic plasticity models with or without tilting angle between the material axes and the applied loading. The influence of frictional behavior is studied. In all the investigated cases, the numerical results provide compelling support to the analytical prognosis.

In this paper, some numerical verifications would be presented and discussed, mainly including the following three types: (1) the pure bending beam in which the structural stiffness would maintain the original value and not change along with the load; (2) the clamped arc-beam in which the structural stiffness would decrease gradually with the increment of load and the structure would be buckling at some certain load value; and (3) the cantilever beam in which the structural stiffness would increase significantly with the increment of load. For all of the above examples, the present results are in good agreement with the analytical results and numerical results in other literatures, testifying and illustrating the validity of the large rotation matrix for nonlinear framed structure, which is developed in the part 1 of this paper.

Abstract This investigation deals with a study of the plastic behavior of anisotropic metals. By extending Hill’s theory of plastic flow of anisotropic metals, plastic stress-strain relations for anisotropic materials with strain hardening are developed. Applications of these relations are also made to plane-stress and plane-strain problems with anisotropy. The effect of anisotropy on the stress distribution and on the pressure to produce yielding in a thick-walled cylinder under internal pressure is discussed. The influence of anisotropy on the interpretation of conventional biaxial tension-tension and tension-torsion tests is also considered in this study.

For dynamic deformations of compressible elastic-ideally plastic materials in the practically important cases of plane stress and plane strain, we investigate the possible existence of propagating surfaces of strong discontinuity (across which components of stress, strain, or material velocity jump) within a small-displacement-gradient formulation. For each case, an explicit proof of the impossibility of such a propagating surface (except at an elastic wave speed) is achieved for isotropic materials satisfying a Huber-Mises yield condition and associated flow rule, and we show that our method of proof can be generalized to a large class of anisotropic materials. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that moving surfaces of strong discontinuity cannot be ruled out for all stable (i.e., satisfying the maximum plastic work inequality) materials, as in the case of a material whose yield surface contains a linear portion. A clear knowledge of the conditions under which dynamically propagating strong discontinuity surfaces can and cannot exist is crucial to the attainment of correct and complete solutions to such practical elastic-plastic problems as dynamic crack propagation, impact and rapidly moving load problems, high-speed forming, cutting, and other manufacturing processes.

We study bound states in weakly deformed and heterogeneous waveguides, and compare analytical predictions using a recently developed perturbative method with precise numerical results for three different configurations: a homogeneous asymmetric waveguide, a heterogenous asymmetric waveguide and a homogeneous broken strip. We have found excellent agreement between the analytical and numerical results in all the examples; this provides a numerical verification of the analytical approach.

An exact formulation is presented of the relationship between the effective elastic constants for thick perforated plates (generalized plane strain) and thin perforated plates (plane stress). Extensive numerical results covering a wide range of ligament efficiencies and Poisson’s ratios are given for plates with square and triangular penetration patterns.
