TRANSITION ANALYSIS IN SOLIDS

Abstract

SETH'S transition theory and generalized strain measures play significant role to study the transition concept in the solids. According to classical theory, the behavior of transitions occuring in the solids are linear in nature and fails to tell about non-linearity behavior in the transitions. It was B.R Seth who successfully explained about the transition state in the solids known as "Intermediate State". The transition analysis in solids is very helpful for the engineers to understand the initial yielding and fully plastic state occurring in the solids due to elastic-plastic transition in the solids and provide guidelines to engineers to make safe and economical machinery products
