Plasticity of Mechanics is a fascinating branch of mechanics that explores how materials deform and behave when subjected to loads beyond their elastic limit. It involves the study of permanent deformation, flow, and change in shape without fracturing
Strain Hardening Phenomenon:
Investigating how materials become stronger and tougher as they undergo plastic deformation, often represented by stress-strain curves with distinctive rises.
.
Plasticity Modeling and Simulation :
Developing mathematical models and computational tools to predict and analyze plastic deformation in various materials and structures, aiding in design and analysis.
Creep and Stress Relaxation :
Exploring the long-term deformation behavior of materials under constant stress (creep) and the gradual reduction in stress over time (stress relaxation) with temperature-dependent properties.
Understanding how plasticity mechanics play a pivotal role in shaping processes like forging, rolling, extrusion, and stamping of metals, optimizing manufacturing processes.
Plasticity in Geotechnical Engineering :
Examining how soil and rock materials undergo plastic deformation under loads, vital in geotechnical engineering for foundation design, slope stability, and excavation planning.
