QUASISTATIC PLASTICITY WITH VANISHING HARDENING

Prof. Dr. Tomas Roubíček (Charles University Prague and Institute of Thermomechanics, Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic)

The quasistatic evolution of the linearized plasticity with kinematic or isotropic hardening will be shown to converge to the quasistatic evolution of the Prandtl-Reuss elastic/perfectly plastic model. The concepts of weak and energetic solutions will be used.
