The experimental tests were carried out by photoelastic coating method on duralumin stripes loaded by tensile stresses. For various levels of loading, the photographs of isochromatic pattern were taken under loading and after removing loading. On the basis of isochromatic pattern recorded for loaded models, the boundaries of plastic zones were determined using the Treska-Coulomb yield condition. The isochromatic pattern taken for the unloaded, but previously partly plastified elements, show the picture of the residual strain remaining in the material. A discussion of the results is presented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Experimental analysis of propagation of plastic zones in two-dimensional problems}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84636/PDF/02_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10180-012-0021-2}, keywords={mechanics of solids, experimental methods, elastic-plastic state}, }
