Abstract: The development of the plastic strain in a V-grooved flat plate under longitudinal shear was followed from the elastic through the partially plastic to the fully plastic condition for a non-strainhardening material. The region of plastic flow develops monotonically. Adjacent to the zone of deformation in the fully plastic case there is a region where limited plastic deformation has occurred. The results for the growth of the plastic zone were compared with predictions based on the elastic-plastic solution for an infinite plate and the elastic solution for a finite plate. Agreement is good at low stress levels. At high stress levels, a relatively simple empirical equation, satisfying over-all equilibrium, is proposed. Predictions based on elasticity theory alone are shown to be seriously in error.
