In a crystalline solid, the atoms form an ordered lattice. Crystalline solids respond elastically to small deformations: When the applied strain is removed, the macroscopic stress, as well as the ...
Such behavior is termed as yield flow behavior. When subjected to a force below the yield stress, the sample will undergo elastic deformation, whereas the sample will flow like a liquid when subjected ...
Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...
