    Abstract:

    The use of a deformation version of gradient plasticity in order to obtain the analytical solution of the elastoplastic axisymmetric borehole, subjected to a far-field biaxial tension, has been provided. The constitutive model results from the basic assumption of a gradient depended flow stress, i.e. the dependence of the effective stress on the Laplacian of the effective strain. Deformation theory is formulated within an approximate strength of materials approach, utilizes an averaging process over the entire deformation history and relates the total plastic strain to the final total stress. The elastic part of the problem was considered through the classical elasticity theory. The analytical solution and the results, i.e. the distributions of stresses and strains, are illustrated and compared in the context of the size effects which contribute to the study of the borehole stability.
