Abstract:
The plane strain problem of a step load moving with uniform superseismic velocity on the surface of a half-space is considered for an elastic-plastic material obeying the von Mises yield condition. Using dimensional analysis the governing quasi-linear partial differential equations are converted into ordinary nonlinear differential equations which are solved numerically using a digital computer. To overcome computing difficulties asymptotic solutions are derived in the vicinity of a singular point of the differential equations. Typical numerical results are presented for selected values of significant non-dimensional parameters, i.e. of the surface load, of Poissons ratio, and of the velocity ratio.
