Abstract-Acceleration waves in elastic-plastic materials are studied in some detail on the basis of a nonlinear thermodynamical theory of elastic-plastic continua. Attention is confined mainly to non-conducting media, but the developments are, otherwise, general. Formulae for wave speeds are derived, fronts of plastic loading and elastic unloading are discussed, and higher order discontinuities are shown to have the same characteristic speeds as those of acceleration waves. An example concerning propagation of plastic waves in a medium undergoing uni-axial motion is included. I. INTRODUCTION

is concerned with propagation of acceleration waves in elastic-plastic materials and is based on the thermodynamical theory of such media developed by Green and Naghdi [ 1,2]. Attention is confined mainly to a non-conducting medium; but, otherwise, the developments are general and are carried out in the context of the nonlinear theory. Propagation of acceleration waves in elastic materials has had a long history. A recent general development on the subject by Truesdell [3] includes historical remarks and earlier references. Some aspects of acceleration waves in nonlinear viscoelasticity, based on a mechanical theory, has been discussed by Varley[4] while Coleman and Gurtin [5] have studied acceleration waves, according to a thermodynamical theory of a class of simple materials with fading memoryg. Among the previous works on acceleration waves in elastic-plastic media, we cite references [6-l 21. However, these are confined only to mechanical aspects of the subject and either are based on a linearized theory with srnull deformations or if carried out in the context of the nonlinear theory employ special constitutive equations. In the present paper, after some preliminaries in section 2, we briefly discuss the constitutive equations for elastic-plastic media and deduce some related results in section 3. Here, we recall the constitutive equations in the form in which the entropy (rather than the temperature) is an independent thermodynamic variable and then obtain an expression for the rate of production of entropy in a non-conducting medium. It is a known result in nonlinear elasticity that in a non-conducting elastic material (and in the absence of heat supply) the time rate of entropy vanishes and the so-called acoustic tensor is hornentropic. In general, as shown in sections 3 and 4, such is not the case for an elastic-plastic material. In section 4, waves are represented as propagating surfaces in a non-conducting elastic-plastic continuum, across which there exist jumps in the values of certain mechanical and thermal variables. Acceleration waves, or singular surfaces with respect to particle acceleration, are discussed in detail and formulae for wave speeds are derived THIS

using the compatibility conditions of Hadamard[ 131 for jumps in piecewise continuous functions of position and time. Waves propagating through regions undergoing plastic deformation, sufficient conditions for the existence of real wave speeds, and fronts of plastic louding and elastic unionding are treated in sections 4-6. Singular surfaces with respect to any order derivatives (in time, position or mixed) of acceleration are shown in section 7 to have the same characteristic speeds as those of the acceleration discontinuities. Finally, in section 8, we consider the simple example of propagation ot plastic waves in a medium undergoing uni-axial motion. Other examples, such as plastic waves in simple shear or propagation of spherically symmetric plastic waves, can be discussed in a similar fashion. The above developments for a non-conducting medium in sections 3-7 are valid for a work-hardening elastic-plastic material which is initially anisotropic and are also applicable to the limiting case of an elastic-perfectly plastic material. Of special interest is the simple formula that the jump in the entropy production is linear in the jump of plastic strain rate. This and other results in section 4 hold also for a definite conductor, i.e. for a medium whose heat conduction vector has the form of Fourier’s law.

where X, is a reference position of the particle. We require the mapping (2.

We use the notation F = F(f) and designate partial differentiation with respect to X, orxi as ( ),j1or ( ),iq respectively.

In what follows we shall be concerned with constitutive equations which mainly involve stress, stress rate, displacement gradient, velocity gradient and such equations must remain unaltered by superposed rigid body motions. As noted in [I], the displacement gradient and the velocity gradient must be replaced by e K,,and @K,,and these will be referred to as the strain tensor and the strain rate tensor. Also the stress and the stress rate may be taken to be SKLand SKL,both being invariant under superposed rigid body motions. 3. CONSTITUTIVE

RELATED

RESULTS

We summarize here the principal results from the theory of elastic-plastic continua as developed by Green and Naghdi [ 1,2] and also obtain some related results for later use. We limit the discussion to the material description of the theory and, for convenience, regard the entropy S (rather than the temperature) as an independent thermodynamic variable. Let the strain tensor eKLbe defined at each point of the continuum by (2.3) and let ei,,, a symmetric tensor with the same invariance properties as eh.,,,denote plastic strain$. We introduce a constitutive assumption for SKLin the form SKL =

sKL(eKL,

Using the conventional terminology, the four conditions in (3.3) in the order listed correspond to an elastic state, unloading from an elastic-plastic state, neutral loading, and loading from an elastic-plastic state. Supplementary to the above, we need constitutive postulates for the internal energy U, the temperature T and the heat flux vector Qti. Thus, we introducel(3.6) and also assume that T and QK are functions of eK,,, e&,, S and that QK depends in addition on T,.,,. With the foregoing background, we now record certain additional results from the theory of elastic-plastic continua[ 1,2] which will be utilized subsequently.

For simplicity, we retain here the constitutive assumptions of the forms (3.6) and (3.1) but note that the inclusion of K as an independent variable will not alter the structure of most of the results in later sections of the paper.

Although the main developments in [I] are carried out in terms of the Helmholtz free energy function (with T as an independent thermodynamic variable), results corresponding to (3.6) and (3.10) are also discussed[l: section 61. In the present paper. as in [2]. the basic kinematic variables are e:.,. and e, which is defined by (2.3). while the original form of the theory in [l] employed e;,, and a variable defined by e;i,, = eKI.- e;,.. The two forms of the nonlinear theory in [l. 21 are entirely equivalent. although in general the latter]21 is preferable. As emphasized in [l]. the variable ek,. is not an ‘elastic’ strain in the usual context of elasticity; only in restrictive cases or in the infinitesimal theory of elastic-plastic continua, e;i,, is an elastic strain tensor and is independent of e;,,. $The definition of an elastic-perfectly plastic material here is not the same as that in [I ; section 91, obtained by specialization of the spatial form of the theory. A number of different definitions of elasticperfectly plastic materials are possible in the context of the nonlinear theory, but they coincide for a linearized theory.

DISCONTINUITIES

Let xi = xi(XA, t) denote the position at time t of the material point whose position in the reference configuration is XA and consider a moving surface in the continuum, a smooth one-parameter family of points, across which certain derivatives of xi(X,, t) have jump discontinuities. Such a surface is called a singular surface or a wave and may be assigned the material description Z(t) :X, = Y,(@, Hz, f), where O1and Hzare parameters. Alternatively, by elimination of 0’ and Hz, the smooth surface Z(t) may be represented as c (t) :@(X,, t) = 0. (4.1) Equation (4.1) locates the surface as a function of time in the reference configuration. The unit normal to C(t) will be denoted by (4.2) where Iv@1 = (@),A@,A)l”> 0.

The speed of propagation of the surface (4.1) is (4.4) Let R- and R+ be one sided adjacent neighborhoods partitioned by I:(t) and let F(XA, t), a function of X,, be continuous in R- and R+ but have a jump across C (t). We define the jump in F(X,, t) across I5 at time t by [IF] = F+-F= F(Y+(8”,t),t)-F(Y-(8”,r),t),

(4.5)

where F+ and F- designate the values of F on the two sides of E (t) approached from the neighborhoods R+ and R-, respectively. In what follows, we mainly consider a singular surface of order 2, i.e. an acceleration wave but also briefly discuss singular surfaces of ordert m > 2. We call ): (t) an acceleration wave in elastic-plastic continua if ii, xi,A (and therefore eAR) ezA and S (or T) are continuous functions of X, and t, while their derivatives (with respect to X,, or t) have at most jump discontinuities across C (I) but are continuous in R+ and R-. We also assume that the externally applied body force is so assigned that Fi is a continuous function of X, for all t. It then follows that the kinematical conditions of compatibility are (see. e.g. Truesdell and Toupin [ 15, section 1901)

where hi is an arbitrary vector and may be called the am$itude. More generally, when c(t) is a singular surface of order m with respect to M(X,4r t), the jumps in mth partial derivatives of M(XA, t) are given by

It is therefore clear that acceleration waves (with V # O), in a non-conducting elastic-plastic medium, are not hornentropic& In the rest of this section, we consider three types of wave propa~tion as follows: (i) In the absence of loading from an elastic-plastic state, on either side of the singular surface I: (I), we have either a state of unloading or neutral loading.

Mathematically, this case is similar to that for nonlinear elasticity with A, playing the role of the homentropic acoustic tensor and with &$I = 0. Here, however, the tensor tit is not difficult to see that the result (4.12) holds even without the assumption (3.1 9f2; it is only necessary to assume that r is a continuous function of X, for all I. _SAn acceleration wave is called homentropicif [SJ = aS_,,J = 0. (Recall that if aSI = 0, it follows from [SJ = 0 that aS,,WTJ= 0). The relation (4.12) may be contrasted with the corresponding result obtained by Coleman and Ciurtin[S]. For the class of materials with memory discussed in [S]. they found that every acceleration wave (with V # 0) in a non-conductor is hornentropic.

From (4.11) and (4.24) follows the equation (4.25) The last two cases correspond to a front of unloading propagating into a plastically stressed region and a plastic loading front, respectively, and do not give rise to eigenvalue equations. These will be discussed in section 6. The above developments are carried out for a work-hardening elastic-plastic continuum which initially is anisotropic. We now note that the results (4.17), (4.2 l), (4.23) and (4.25) hold also in the case of an elastic-perfectly plastic continuum. Recalling (3.16) and the fact that in this case j‘vanishes while A becomes infinite as we approach this limiting case, and observing that the only term in the above formulae which depends on h is Gi during loading, it follows that as h * w, (4.26) for an elastic-perfectly plastic medium. The results obtained in this section are valid for an elastic-plastic material which is a non-conductor. However, it is also possible to discuss a parallel development for a definite conductor, i.e. for a medium whose heat conduction vector has the formt QK

=

-KKI,T~~..

(4.27)

In this case, it is more convenient to choose T (rather than S) as an independent thermodynamic variable and to use the form of the theory in which the constitutive equations are expressed in terms of the Helmholtz free energy function A = U-TTS,

(4.28)

together with appropriate changes in sectionS3. In view of the constitutive and smoothness assumptions, it follows from the integral form of the equation of balance of energy that every acceleration wave, in an elastic-plastic material subject to Fourier’s law of heat conduction, is homothermal, i.e.$ (4.29) Moreover, we now obtain a formula of the form (3.22) with U, S replaced by A, T respectively. It should now be clear that, with the help of (4.29), results parallel to those tEquation (4.27) is in the form of Fourier’s law and the heat conduction tensor Kh.,., a function of c,,\., eirfi and T, is positive definite. *For details, see [l, 21. In this form of the theory, A, sx,, and S, as well as& hK,, and &,,, are functions of 9, eyN, kV and T. Also, instead of (3.19),, we only assume that the heat supply is so assigned that r is a continuous function of X, for all t. §This conclusion parallels the corresponding result for elastic materials[3] and for the class of materials with memory considered in [5] with the heat flux vector in the form (4.27). For a definite conductor, the heat conduction tensor in [5] is given a more general definition than that in (4.27).

between (4.13) and (4.26) can also be deduced in this case, but we do not pursue the matter further. 5. PLASTIC

WAVES

We have shown that the speeds V(,, at which plastic waves propagate must identically satisfy the eigenvalue equation (4.2 1) for given values of eKI,,ek,, and S. Of course, the converse is not true, i.e. every solution V(,, to (4.2 I), for given values of eh,,, ex.,., S, does not necessarily represent the speed of an acceleration wave. However, the real values of V(,, are the only speeds at which such waves may propagate. To investigate sufficient conditions for real wave speeds, we appeal to known properties of matrices. Consider Au, defined by (4.16), where AKLM,”is given by (3.25). If Pi is an arbitrary vector, then

where (5.10)

Since (5.9) is a cubic polynomial, at least one of the roots Y, (a = I, 2,3) must be real. Of course, with the help of (5.10), it is seen that the wave speed Vi,“;corresponding to Y, will be real only if (5.1 I) We also find from (5.9) that

In view of (5.4), we observe from (5.12) that P (A,), P(A,) and P(A,) have the signs of -GIH,, +G,H, and -G3H3, respectively. Noting that P(Y) + --cc as Y --, +m while P(Y) + + ~0as Y -+ - CQ,we deduce the following information about the wave speeds. If GIH,, G,H, and G3H3 all have the same sign, then Y1, Y2 and Y, are real and distinct; if this sign is positive, then

It is clear, however, that if I”,;‘, is to be a real wave speed, the inequality (5.1 I) must hold. By comparing (5.6) with (4.15), we further observe that A, are precisely the eigenvalues for the case where there is no loading (i.e. additional plastic deformation) on either side of the wave front. It would, therefore, be of physical interest to compare A,, the speed of the fastest ‘elastic’ wave, with the real roots among Y,, Y2 and Y,. Similar comparisons forA, and.4, may be of interest.

AND

UNLOADING

Any surface in the medium which separates a region of loading from one of unloading or neutral loading is called an efasric-plastic interface. With reference to case (iii) of section 4, suppose such a surface is moving through the medium with an acceleration discontinuity coinciding with it. For a specified history of loading and for known conditions ahead of the front, formally, we have

these quantities being known functions of position and time. From (6. l), we can compute the strain rate ahead of the wave front, i.e. $1. = kh’,‘ (X,,

t) .

(6.2)

Using (6.1) in the left-hand side of (3.2), we may then define

where K is a known function of X.M,t. The velocity I/ of the elastic-plastic interface, and hence of the surface of acceleration discontinuity, may be computed from (6.3) by a formula of the type (4.4). Since Pi,, and V are determined as functions of XA and t, equations (4.23) or (4.25) each constitute a set of three linear inhomogeneous equations in the discontinuity amplitudes Ai. It follows that hi can be determined uniquely for both cases, except when the determinants of the coefficients of A~vanish. However, these correspond to cases in which the speeds are precisely VCe,and V,,, characterized by (4.16) and (4.19), respectively. For example, suppose the elastic-plastic interface advances into a plastic region with the speed V,,, satisfying equation (4.16). Then, provided Gi # 0, it follows from (4.23) that HL,,,,,eGAT = 0. Hence, using (3.30), _ e.rr+ KI. -

so that we no longer have a region of loading just ahead of the wave-it can be one of neutral or unloading region. On the other hand, suppose the elastic-plastic interface advances into a region of unloading or neutral loading with the speed V(,, satisfying equation (4.20). Then, provided Gi # 0, it follows from (4.25) that H,w,ci,;,,.= 0.

(6.5)

This corresponds to propagation into a region of neutral loading, if we recall (3.30). Some of the results of W. A. Green [ 121 obtained under more restrictive conditions are compatible with those given here. 7. HIGHER

Comparison of (7.9) with (4.19) gives the desired result. In an analogous manner we may show, by differentiating (7.1) and (7.3) a sufficient number of times, that singular surfaces of higher order have the same plastic wave speeds as those of order 2. 8. AN

(8.3)

Here, we concern ourselves with only one aspect of the problem, namely the determination of velocities of propagating waves in an isotropic material, using the results of section 4. Thus, we assume that a state of plastic deformation corresponding to (8.2) and (8.3) is compatible with the field equations which must also be used in a complete analysis of the problem. Before proceeding further, we need to recall certain results concerning the forms of the constitutive functions of section 3. For an initially isotropic material, the internal energy function U, the loading function f, PKL and the work-hardening tensor hKL are isotropic functions of their arguments?. Then, U is expressible as a function of the entropy S and the ten joint invariants

For a prescribed wave front which is specified by its normal NK (generally a function of position), we may substitute (8.17) and (8.18) into the eigenvalue equation (4.20) and thereby determine the wave speeds. Consider now a plane wuue front whose normal is at an arbitrary (oblique) angle to the X,-axis. Without loss in generality, we may choose the direction of the X,-axis to be perpendicular to the plane of the X,-axis and the normal to the wave front. In this way, the problem is reduced to a two dimensional one, so that NK = (N,, Nt, 01,

Formeln fiir Wellengeschwindigkeiten werden abgeleitet, Fronten plastischer Belastung und elastischer Entlastung werden besprochen und es wird gezeigt, dass Unstetigkeiten hoherer Ordnung dieselben charakteristischen Geschwindigkeiten wie die der Beschleunigungswellen haben.

Sommario - Si studiano in qualche particolare le onde d’accelerazione nei materiali elastico-plastici sulla base di una teoria termodinamica non lineare di continui elastico-plastici. L’attenzione e limitata per lo pin ai mezzi non conducenti, mentre gli sviluppi sono altrimenti generah. Si ricavano formule per le velocita d’onda, si discutono le fronti del caricamento plastic0 e dello scarico elastic0 e si dimostra come discontinuita d’alto grado abbiano le stesse velocita caratteristiche delle onde d’accelerazione. Si include un esempio della propagazione delle onde plastiche in un mezzo in movimento uniassiale. .&%TpalcT-_MsyVeH Teopwi cpenaw
