Abstract:
Problems of inelastic straining of three-dimensional bodies with large displacements and turns are considered. In addition to the sought fields, surface forces and boundary displacements have also to be determined in these problems. Experimental justification is given to the proposed constitutive equations of steady creep for transversely isotropic materials with different characteristics under tension and compression. Algorithms and results of the finite-element solution of the problem are presented for these materials.
