OBJECTIVES OF THE

STUDY
 In order to explain the elastic-plastic and creep
transition, it is first necessary to recognize the
transition state as an asymptotic one. Seth identified
the transition state in which the governing differential
equation shows some criticality.
 In this work, it is our main aim to eliminate the need for
assuming semi-empirical laws, yield condition, creep-
strain laws, jump conditions, etc. We also obtained the
equation corresponding to the transition state and fully
plastic state. One of the most interesting results in this
work concerns the identification of the transition state.
A general treatment of transition in elastic-plastic and
creep phenomena is presented.
IDENTIFICATION OF THE
TRANSITION STATE
 When a material at a point has yielded, it is more reasonable to expect that
the material at the neighboring points are on their way to yield, rather than
they remain in the elastic state as completely opposed to the plastic state
of the nearby particle. As the plastic yielding of a material is a
consequence of collapse of its internal or macroscopic structure, the plastic
yielding will be complete or partial depending on the existing physical
conditions. This leads us again to the recognition of two material states: a
transition state and a plastic state. There are different ways to explain how
transition may occur from a state ‘A’ to another state ‘B’:
 At transition, the differential system defining the elastic state ‘A’ should
attain some criticality or singularity.
 If we consider the plastic state ‘B’ as an image of the elastic state ‘A’ under
the
transformation (X, Y, Z), (x, y, z) being the co-ordinates of a point in the
undeformed and deformed state, respectively. Then at transition, the
Jacobian of the transformation should be zero or infinite. This means when
transition occurs, one-to-one correspondence between ‘A’ and ‘B’ no
longer holds.
 Elastic-Plastic Transition in a Thin
Rotating
Disc with Rigid Shaft

Rigid Shaft (Angular speed)

We consider a thin disc of constant
density with central bore of radius a
and external radius b. The annular disc
is mounted on a rigid shaft. The disc is
rotating with angular velocity about an
axis perpendicular to its plane and
passed through the center. The R
b b
thickness of disc is assumed to be
constant and is taken to be sufficiently
small so that it is effectively in a state
of plane stress, that is, the axial stress
is zero.

Mechanical engineering

 Rotating disc form an essential part of the design of rotating

machinery, namely rotors, turbines, compressors, high speed gears,
flywheel and computer’s disc drive.
Theory

 B.R. Seth’s [1962, 1966] has defined the

generalized principal strain measure as,

Angular speed required for initial yielding at the internal surface of the rotating disc
with rigid Shaft along the radii ratio

 It has been observed that the rotating disc made of incompressible material with rigid shaft
required higher angular speed to yield at the internal surface as compared to disc made of
compressible material and a much higher angular speed is required for higher value of radii
ratio. 5

conclusion

It has been observed that the rotating disc with

rigid shaft and made of compressible material
requires lesser angular speed to yield at the
internal surface where as it requires higher
percentage increase in angular speed to
become fully plastic from its initial yielding as
compared to disc made of incompressible
material.
