A method for the analysis of the plastic deformation of a circular plate subject to projectile impact is presented based on the assumption that the material is rigid viscoplastic, obeying a von Mises yield condition and associated flow rule. The predictions of the analysis are com­pared with the results of experiments in which projectiles of different masses are fired at various velocities at clamped plates of mild steel. The plates used in the experiments are such that substantial plastic strains can develop, while the maximum displacements are of the same order as the thickness. The analytical method presented predicts the behaviour of the plates to within the accuracy of the tests. The material constants which fit the results are in accord with those obtained from different tests.

The structure of the overall response of a metal polycrystal is analysed under the assumption that activity on the slip systems of its constituents is governed by a generalized Schmid law. In the resulting macromodel of metal plasticity, the overall rate of plastic deformation is related to the stress gradient of the yield surface via a generalized, but still associated, flow rule. While the overall rate of plastic deformation is no longer collinear with the stress gradient of the yield surface, its deviation is characterized by an additional macrovariable, representative of the rate of the non-Schmid effects taking place at constituent level.

For the soil is a very complex natural material, significant strain gradient effect exist in soil analysis. Based on the "gradient" phenomenon, we add the plastic strain gradient hardening item into the traditional Cambridge yield surface. By using the consistency conditions and associated flow rule, we get the explicit expression of plastic strain gradient stiffness matrix. And the finite element method of plastic strain gradient is also shown in this article. Plastic strain gradient is actually a phenomenological non-local model containing microstructure information of the material. It may overcome the difficulties in simulating the gradient phenomenon by traditional mechanical model.
