Abstract: | An elastic-plastic bar with simply connected cross section Q is clamped at the bottom and given a twist at the top. The stress function u, at a prescribed cross section, is then the solution of the variational inequality (0.1) is equal to the angle of the twist (after normalizing the units). Introducing the Lagrange multiplier λθ1, the unloading problem consists in solving the variational inequality (0.3) is the twisting angle for the unloaded bar; θ2 < θ1. Let (0.4) , and denote by the solutions of (0.1), (0.3), respectively, when K is replaced by . The following results are well known for the loading problem (0.1):(0.5) ; (0.6) the plastic set is connected to the boundary. In this paper we show that, in general, (0.7) ; (0.8) the plastic set is not connected to the boundary. That is, we construct domains Q for which (0.7) and (0.8) hold for a suitable choice of θ1, θ2. |
