Assuming a one-dimensional rate independent theory of combined longitudinal and torsional plastic wave propagation in a thin-walled tube, restrictions are obtained on the possible speeds of elastic-plastic boundaries. These restrictions are shown to depend on the type of discontinuity at the boundary and on whether loading or unloading is occurring. The range of unloading (loading) wave speeds for the case when the nth time derivative of the solution is the first derivative that is discontinuous across the boundary is the complement of the range of unloading (loading) wave speeds for the case when the first discontinuity is in the (n + 1)th time derivative. Thus all speeds are possible for elastic-plastic boundaries corresponding to either loading or unloading. The general features of the discontinuities associated with loading and unloading boundaries are established, and examples are presented of unloading boundaries overtaking simple waves.

The combined longitudinal and torsional waves in a linearly work-hardening thin-walled tube are studied. Explicit solutions are obtained for the stress paths in the stress space for the simple waves. The stress paths are all “similar”, and hence a proportionality property in the solutions exists for simple waves as well as for a more general initial and boundary-value problem. The same results apply to any type of plane waves of combined stress. Thus the “linearity” in the solutions of one-dimensional plastic waves in a thin rod of a linearly work-hardening material is not completely lost in the solutions of combined stress waves. Depending on whether the plastic wave speed cp is larger, equal, or smaller than c2, the nature of the solutions to a given combined stress wave problem can be quite different. Examples are given to illustrate this point.

A study is given of elastic-plastic boundaries which start at the end x = 0 of a rod in one-dimensional wave propagation. The initial speed of the elastic-plastic boundaries at x = 0 and at any time, say t = t0, is determined analytically for all possible combinations of the time derivative σt of the stress σ(0, t) before and after t = t0. If σt at x = 0 is continuous and vanishes at t = t0, all possible combinations of σtt before and after t = t0 are considered. The analysis also gives the number of regions involved, the derivatives in each region, and distinguishes elastic regions from plastic regions. These are useful guides for a numerical solution of general initial and boundary-value problems.

A survey is provided of the various constitutive models that have been used to study the phenomena of wave propagation in soils. While different material models have been proposed for the response of soils, it is now generally understood that no single model may be used over the entire range of pressures which are typically studied. The constitutive models reviewed in this paper include a number of effective stress and multiphase models, the volume distribution function model, and various versions of the P−α model. Also discussed are classical elastic-plastic models, models possessing different elastic constants in loading and unloading, variable modulus models, and capped elastic-plastic models.
