Abstract:
In this paper, we study the effect of elastic constraint on the deformation of a dilating material when an irreversible shear causes a change in volume. Two cases are considered: the constraint is caused by elastic ties external to the body and by an elastic core in the dilating material itself. The first case is considered within the framework of a model problem, whereas the second case is considered by the problem of torsion of a round bar where the outer plastically deformable layers are compressed by the inner elastic core. The Drucker–Prager criterion is used as a plasticity condition in the torsion problem.
