Relationship between plastic and intrinsic dissipations

摘要

In this paper, the relationship between the plastic and intrinsic dissipations is addressed within the normality structure of [Rice, J.R., 1971. Inelastic constitutive relations for solids: an integral variable theory and its application to metal plasticity. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 19, 433-455; Rice, J.R., 1975. Continuum mechanics and thermodynamics of plasticity in relation to microscale deformation mechanisms. In: Argon, A.S. (Ed.), Constitutive Equations in Plasticity. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, pp. 23-79.] It is shown that the plastic dissipation is generally not equal to the intrinsic dissipation. Within the normality structure, the microscale and macroscale thermodynamic fluxes and forces are related by the conditions of energy and dissipation equivalence. If the plastic dissipation is required to be equal to the intrinsic dissipation, J(2) potential and the Levy-Mises equation are recovered from the condition of dissipation equivalence for incompressible plastic flows.
