Consideration of the Influence of Residual Strain Fields in Modern Physicomechanical Technologies of Treating Structural Materials

A strict determination of the mechanisms of redistribution of previously accumulated irreversible strains as a result of additional elastic shock actions on the material is given for a nonlinear gradient model of large elastic–plastic strain. It is shown that this redistribution is limited by rigid transport and rotation of the plastic strain tensor. Formulas for a change in the initial components of the plastic strain tensor in elastic waves are derived. It is shown that the preliminary plastic field affects the dynamics of further reversible strain as one of the factors of formation of the initial quasi-static elastic field, which cannot be obtained in a purely elastic process.
