CURRENT STATE OF STRESS-STRAIN ANALYSIS OF INHOMOGENEOUS construction members strained beyond the elastic LIMIT
The paper presents the state-of-the-art review on and the analysis of the behavior of plates and shells beyond the elastic limit with regard for heterogeneity of materials they are made of. Heterogeneity is connected with materials the properties of which are exposed to heat treatment, radiation and degradation under unfavourable conditions. Possible trends that have been formulated in this research are based on the review of previous investigations.
