I. Hlavacek et Jr. Whiteman, EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF SOLUTIONS IN STRAIN SPACE OF ELASTOPLASTIC PROBLEMS WITH ISOTROPIC HARDENING, Mathematical models and methods in applied sciences, 7(1), 1997, pp. 31-48
The flow theory of elasto-plastic bodies with isotropic strain hardeni
ng is formulated in strain space by means of a time-dependent variatio
nal inequality. Using concepts of subdifferential and multivalued maxi
mal monotone operators, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a sol
ution of the quasistatic problem in R(n), (n = 2, 3), with mixed bound
ary conditions.
