Rv. Kohn et Td. Little, SOME MODEL PROBLEMS OF POLYCRYSTAL PLASTICITY WITH DEFICIENT BASIC CRYSTALS, SIAM journal on applied mathematics (Print), 59(1), 1998, pp. 172-197
We consider the yield set of a (rigid-perfectly-plastic) polycrystal,
where the basic crystal has very few slip systems. One would like to p
redict whether the effective behavior is ductile or rigid. We address
this issue for some model problems of antiplane shear and plane stress
. Our main tools are nonlinear homogenization, bounds via compensated
compactness, and the elastic comparison method.
