Stress Distribution In An Elastic Perfectly Plastic Plate Subjected To Corrosive Environmental Loads

Abstract

We analyse deformations of an isotropic elastic/perfectly plastic plate subjected to environmental effects such as the corrosive forces exerted by the surrounding medium. It is found that for the bounding surfaces of the plate to deform plastically, the corrosion process must propagate to a point whose distance from the outer bounding surface exceeds one third the half-thickness of the plate, and for the central unaffected material to also deform plastically the half-thickness of the corroded layer must exceed five eighths the half-thickness of the plate. © 1993.
