The modeling of selected mechanical properties of plastic materials under influence of complex
external load state

O
ne of the most important and widely used materials is plastic materials. Hence, the knowledge on the behaviour and especially
mechanical properties of this type of materials plays an important role in their strength assessment. Very important is here
the practical possibility of the prediction of material behaviour under the influence of complex load state; where useful and very
important are the strain energy based methods of mechanical properties modelling of material. Such type of approach to the
modelling was used by Kurpisz and Wegner among others in [4] and [5]. In the current paper basing on phenomenological
approach and interpretation of mechanical experimental characteristics, the strain energy model of plastic material under complex
load state in range of elastic deformations, will be introduced. The strain energy density function which is a density of the work of
stress components σi(t) for i=1,2,3 along deformation path C:
ε
i
(t) for i=1,2,3 defined in the form:
will be applied for determination of material stability assumption due to the possibility of the appearing of plastic flow. All
theoretical investigations will be illustrated on the example of two types of plastics materials in three-axial state of stress.

Biography
Dariusz Kurpisz is a scientific worker at the Poznan University of Technology. His scientific interest includes mathematical modeling of physical process both for
materials as well for more complicated structures. One of the most important tools in his work are phenomenological approach and energy method of modeling based
on experimental approach and the strain energy density function.
