Abstract

Typical theories of plastic flow and plastic deformation are discussed, and the concept of neutral change of stress is introduced. A neutral change of stress can be considered as a limiting case of either loading or unloading. It therefore seems reasonable to demand that the stress-strain relations for both loading and unloading should predict the same change of strain when applied to a neutral change of stress. It is shown that this condition is satisfied by the theories of plastic flow but not by the theories of plastic deformation.
