Osiowo symetryczne zagadnienia mikropolarnej teorii plastyczności

Monika Wągrowska

Within the frames of the continuum with free rotations we consider elastic-plastic cylindrical bodies. The continuum is capable of carrying moment stresses. We present yield criteria, constitutive equations, and the equations for the axially symmetric problems of two-dimensional elastic-plastic bodies. As a special case we discuss the effect of micropolar mass moments on the extent of the plastic zone.
