Finite-Strain Elastic-Plastic Circular Shear in Materials with Isotropic Hardening

This study presents an analytical solution to the problem of azimuthal shear in a hollow circular cylinder, isotropic and incompressible, the elastic properties of which are described by the Mooney – Rivlin model, and the plastic properties by the Tresca model with arbitrary monotonic hardening. Both elastic and plastic deformations are assumed to be finite. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the presented solution are given.
