Plastic flow equations for the local strain approach in the multiaxial case by C. Madrigal, A. Navarro, C. Vallellano

“…It is proposed that the stress space is endowed with a quadratic metric whose structure is embedded in the yield criterion. Considerations of initial isotropy of the material and of the null influence of the hydrostatic stress upon yielding leads to the realization of the simplest metric, which is associated with the von Mises yield criterion. …”

Evaluation of thinning behaviour under the influence of plastic hardening and surface friction during small punch test by S. C. Pandit, N. A. Alang, I. U. Ferdous, J. Alias, M. F. Hassan, A. H. Ahmad

“…Understanding the deformation response of the material involving thinning under small punch loading is vital to ensure structural integrity. This paper systematically investigates the effects of plastic hardening on the thinning process under different levels of surface friction between the punch, die and specimen. …”

Damage localization of closing cracks using a signal decomposition technique by J. Prawin, A. Rama Mohan Rao

“…The presence of fatigue-breathing crack or closing cracks is usually characterised by the presence of sub and super-harmonics in the response of the structure subjected to harmonic excitation. It should be mentioned here that the amplitude of nonlinear harmonics are of very less order in magnitude when compared to linear or excitation component. …”
