Plane Steady-State Flow of a Hardening Rigid-Plastic Body

Abstract

The problem of a plane steady-state flow of an isotropically hardening plastic material is considered. In this paper, a new form of equations is obtained using the Airy stress function and the velocity function, which has a certain symmetry. The problem of a flow in a converging channel with rough walls is considered and it is shown that there are no solutions in the form of functions with separable variables.
