VISCOMETRIC FLOW OF ELASTOPLASTIC MATERIAL HEATED BY WALL FRICTION

A mathematical model of large deformations is used to solve a coupled boundary-value problem about the deformation of an elastoviscoplastic material in a cylindrical viscometer with account for its heating due to wall friction. The deformation of a material enclosed between rigid surfaces due to the rotation of an inner cylindrical surface at a variable velocity is investigated. It is taken into account that a yield point depends on temperature. The motion of elastoplastic boundaries is described. Stresses, strains, and temperature in a thermoelastic deformation region and in a flow region both during the development of the flow and during its deceleration, including stopping, unloading, and cooling, are calculated. Residual stresses and deformations are determined.
