Torsion of a Titanium Elastic‐Visco‐Plastic Shaft

摘要

The thermodynamics of elastic‐visco‐plastic materials is used to obtain a solution of a simple boundary‐value problem: the torsion of a solid circular titanium shaft. Constitutive relations for titanium have been deduced from the experiments and theory given in the series of the papers by Conrad et al. Attention is paid to the importance of temperature changes connected with inelastic deformation.
