Mathematical modelling of elastoplasticity at high stress

This paper describes a simple mathematical model for one-dimensional elastoplastic wave propagation in a metal in the regime where the applied stress greatly exceeds the yield stress. Attention is focussed on the increasing ductility that occurs in the over-driven limit when the plastic wave speed a...
