Finite lateral compression of an elastic-plastic fibber-reinforced tube: loading solutions

摘要

This paper considers the finite plane-strain deformations of an elastic-plastic tube compressed between two rigid smooth parallel plates. The tube is composed of an elastic-plastic fibre-reinforced material in which the fibres lie in planes perpendicular to the axis of the tube and reinforce the tube in the circumferential direction. The composite is assumed to be an "ideal" material which is inextensible in the fibre-direction and is incompressible. The unloading of the elastic-plastic tube will be considered in a subsequent paper
