  2. Plasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasticity_(physics)

    An idealized uniaxial stress-strain curve showing elastic and plastic deformation regimes for the deformation theory of plasticity. There are several mathematical descriptions of plasticity. [12] One is deformation theory (see e.g. Hooke's law) where the Cauchy stress tensor (of order d-1 in d dimensions) is a function of the strain tensor ...

  3. Material culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_culture

    The scholarly analysis of material culture, which can include both human made and natural or altered objects, is called material culture studies. [6] It is an interdisciplinary field and methodology that tells of the relationships between people and their things: the making, history, preservation and interpretation of objects. [ 7 ]

  4. Viscoplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoplasticity

    An alternative approach is to add a strain rate dependence to the yield stress and use the techniques of rate independent plasticity to calculate the response of a material. [ 4 ] For metals and alloys , viscoplasticity is the macroscopic behavior caused by a mechanism linked to the movement of dislocations in grains , with superposed effects ...

  5. Flow plasticity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_plasticity_theory

    Plastic deformation of a thin metal sheet. Flow plasticity is a solid mechanics theory that is used to describe the plastic behavior of materials. [1] Flow plasticity theories are characterized by the assumption that a flow rule exists that can be used to determine the amount of plastic deformation in the material.

  6. Daniel C. Drucker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_C._Drucker

    Daniel Charles Drucker (June 3, 1918 – September 1, 2001) was an American civil and mechanical engineer and academic, who served as president of the Society for Experimental Stress Analysis (now Society for Experimental Mechanics) in 1960–1961, [1] as president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the year 1973–74, and as president of the American Academy of Mechanics in ...

  7. Drucker–Prager yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drucker–Prager_yield...

    Figure 1: View of Drucker–Prager yield surface in 3D space of principal stresses for =, =. The Drucker–Prager yield criterion [1] is a pressure-dependent model for determining whether a material has failed or undergone plastic yielding.

  8. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Greenwood and Williamson [31] defined a dimensionless parameter called the plasticity index that could be used to determine whether contact would be elastic or plastic. The Greenwood-Williamson model requires knowledge of two statistically dependent quantities; the standard deviation of the surface roughness and the curvature of the asperity peaks.

  9. Rock mass plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_mass_plasticity

    The equations that govern the deformation of jointed rocks are the same as those used to describe the motion of a continuum: [13] ˙ + = ˙ = = ˙: + = where (,) is the mass density, ˙ is the material time derivative of , (,) = ˙ (,) is the particle velocity, is the particle displacement, ˙ is the material time derivative of , (,) is the Cauchy stress tensor, (,) is the body force density ...
