Patel And Venkatraman have studied the general behaviour in bending of a thin-walled channel section (Fig. 1) made of non-linear elastic material which deforms in simple tension according to the law
where ε represents strain, σ direct stress and λ, n the relevant material properties. (It is understood that a negative sign is inserted in where this is necessary to make σ and ε have the same sign.) As Patel and Venkatraman explain, the results are, by a trivial substitution, applicable to steady creep behaviour of the channel section.
