The Propagation of Elastic Disturbances in a Medium with Large Irreversible Preliminary Strains

摘要

General theoretical relations for calculating the redistribution of the preliminary irreversible strain field during unloading or elastic loading of a medium are obtained for the nonlinear multiplicative gradient model of large elastic-plastic deformations. It is shown that the dynamics of elastic shock waves does not depend directly on the previously accumulated plastic strains. A formula for the plastic-strain rotation tensor is obtained. It is shown that rigid rotation of plastic strains under elastic shock waves can be jump-like. All results are obtained for the general case of model relations of isotropic media and are valid for both compressible and incompressible materials.
