Abstract

This paper generalizes the theory of plasticity to make it applicable to artificial graphite in the temperature range from room temperature to 750°F. The theory includes no yield surface in the classical sense, that is, a surface enclosing a purely elastic region. Only radial paths are considered. It is assumed that at the beginning of each loading reversal the behavior of the stress-strain curve is the same independently of the values of stress and plastic strain at which loading reversal takes place. We also assume that the reloading curve obtained upon double reversal of loading approaches asymptotically the extension to the initial loading curve which would have existed provided reversal of loading hat not existed.
