Inspired by some recent developments in the theory of small-strain heterogeneous elastoplasticity, we both revisit and generalize the formulation of the quasistatic evolutionary problem in perfect plasticity given by Francfort and Giacomini (Commun Pure Appl Math, 65:1185–1241, 2012). We show that their definition of the plastic dissipation measure is equivalent to an abstract one, where it is defined as the supremum of the dualities between the deviatoric parts of admissible stress fields and the plastic strains. By means of this abstract definition, a viscoplastic approximation and variational techniques from the theory of rate-independent processes give the existence of an evolution satisfying an energy-dissipation balance and consequently Hill’s maximum plastic work principle for an abstract and very large class of yield conditions.

Abstract
Inspired by some recent developments in the theory of small-strain heterogeneous elastoplasticity, we both revisit and generalize the formulation of the quasistatic evolutionary problem in perfect plasticity given by Francfort and Giacomini (Commun Pure Appl Math, 65:1185–1241, 2012). We show that their definition of the plastic dissipation measure is equivalent to an abstract one, where it is defined as the supremum of the dualities between the deviatoric parts of admissible stress fields and the plastic strains. By means of this abstract definition, a viscoplastic approximation and variational techniques from the theory of rate-independent processes give the existence of an evolution satisfying an energy-dissipation balance and consequently Hill’s maximum plastic work principle for an abstract and very large class of yield conditions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
