Definitions
The theory of plasticity is an area of continuum mechanics that deals with the irreversible, i.e., permanent, deformations of solid bodies. It describes the state of stress and strain or strain rate in these bodies under the influence of a given load or deformation. This complements the theory of elasticity, which describes the reversible behavior of solid bodies. In practice it is observed that many materials behave elastic up to a certain load limit but then beyond this limit increasingly plastic or fluid-like. This limit is called the yield limit. The combination of both material behaviors is called elastoplasticity.
The classical elastoplastic material behavior is assumed to be time-independent or rate-independent. In contrast to this, we call a time- or rate-dependent behavior visco-elastoplastic and visco-plastic – if the elastic part of the deformation is neglected.
