On the residual stresses in the vicinity of a cylindrical discontinuity in a viscoelastoplastic material

The one-dimensional deformation of a material and subsequent unloading in the vicinity of a single cylindrical discontinuity is calculated using the theory of large viscoelastoplastic strains. Emphasis is on the formation of a residual stress field during the loading-unloading process and the effect of the viscous properties of the material on the level and distribution of these stresses. A comparison is performed with results of solution of the corresponding problem using the theory of large elastoplastic strains.
