Abstract
Various 2-dimensional problems of the dynamic loading of a slab are solved for a material characterization that is elastic-viscoplastic and exhibits anisotropic work-hardening. The governing constitutive equations are based on a unified formulation which requires neither a yield criterion nor loading or unloading conditions. They include multi-dimensional anisotropic effects induced by the plastic deformation history. The theory also considers plastic compressibility which depends on the extent of the anisotropy. A numerical procedure for solving the equations is developed which incorporates the history dependent anisotropic hardening effects. Cases considered are the dynamic penetration of a slab by a rigid cylindrical indenter, and a distributed force rapidly applied over part of the slab surface. Both conditions of fixed and free rear surfaces of the slab are examined. A uniaxial problem is also considered in which different bases for the anisotropic hardening law are examined.
