Abstract-We consider an elastic-plastic continuum with free rotations, and two partial yield conditions, namely shear yield and rotational yield. As a special case we discuss axially symmetric plane strain. The system of equations for plastic region has been reduced to a single differential equation. From the approximate solution we have obtained the plastic region and stress distributions.
INTRODUCTION THIS PAPER is concerned with axially symmetric problems of plane strain theory of micropolar plasticity. The theory of micropolar plasticity constitutes a generalization of both the classical theory of plasticity [2] and the moment stress theory. Here a fundamental problem arises, namely the number of yield conditions, and their form. For continua with constrained rotations the yield conditions have been discussed by S. Bodaszewski [I], M. Mi$cu [5], and A. Sawczuk [lo], and in a more general case of nonhomogeneous continuum by J. A. Kiinig and W. Olszak [3]. H. Lippmann [4] has formulated the theory of micropolar plasticity with free rotations of Cosserats’ type. In [9] we discuss a possible number of yield conditions and we introduce the notion of partial yielding, namely shear yielding and rotational one. The total yielding means the conjunction of both the partial ones. Since we consider an elastic-plastic continuum the constitutive equations have to be known in all four possible regions: elastic, shear plastic (SY), rotationally plastic (RY), and totally plastic. It is of interest when and how much the micropolarity of the continuum affects the extent of plastic regions and the distribution of stresses. In the case of plane strain axially symmetric region we arrive at a system of 12 differential and algebraic equations. This system can be reduced to a single, complicated ordinary differential equation. The equation, by reasonable simplifying assumption, can be reduced to Riccati’s equation (nonhomogeneous). As an example we considered a hollow cylinder subjected to an internal pressure and a distribution of body moments. For a certain set of numerical values we found the new extent of plastic zone, and the change in the distribution of stresses. 1. YIELD

where u(~), u(~) denote the symmetric and skew-symmetric parts of the force stress tensor, similarly for the moment stress tensor pij = P(U) + P(C), II, X, (Y, y, /3, and E denote the material constants of a micropolar elastic body, sij, and mij are the components of the force stress and moment stress tensor deviators, respectively. We assume that the voluminal part of the strain energy density (or tr (au)) does not affect the yielding. We define (compare the discussion in [9]) the criterion of shear yield (SY)

and the criterion of rotational yielding (RT) (1.3) The total yielding is the conjunction
of both the partial yieldings (1.4)
where
The criteria result from the invariant considerations, and are invariant with respect to any rigid body motion. Thus for the bodies with internal free rotations we may distinguish the following regions: (a) elastic, (b) shear plastic, rotationally elastic, (c) rotationally plastic, strain elastic, and (d) totally plastic. In Case (a) the constitutive equations of the micropolar elasticity with free rotations hold true (see, e.g. 161). In Case (b) we have the following constituti~e relations: 1 + P, 2r’(iJ,

A micropolar cylinder under tractions only does not know 17, 81 that its material is a micropolar one. The difference becomes evident when the body moments have been applied. The solution to problem (a) within the frames of elasticity reduces to Lam& solution. In the case of an elastic-plastic solid, proceeding exactly like in the case of the classical theory of plasticity, we find the extent of the plastic region and the value of the critical pressure for which the zones of plasticity start developing [2]. For the sake of convenience we introduce two new constants 3 and 4 resembling Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of the classical elasticity. We do so in order to obtain certain estimations on the value of the material constants. We have

An approximate solution for (urr - (~~~1 4 ICT@ + ~~1, and uti + uor = const = A0 is shown in Fig. 1. We have assumed the following data: a = 0.3, b = 1.0, P = 0.67 * 106, y = 8.33. lo*, 7 = 2.2~ 10m2, A0 = -2.7. lo-‘, p = 2.1 *lo’, H = 10m7. Dotted lines denote the distribution of stresses for an elastic case, dashed lines for an elastic-plastic body without body moments. We see from the solution shown in Fig. 1 that even a small additional field of body moments acting on a micropolar body changes the extent of the shear plastic zone. Here we have shown the influence of micropolar properties on the extent of shear plastic region. In [ 1 I] an example is given that a shear yielding may exist, at least theoretically, exerted by body moments only. REFERENCES [I] S.
