Variational Methods for Problems from Plasticity Theory and for Generalized Newtonian Fluids

Variational methods are applied to prove the existence of weak solutions for boundary value problems from the deformation theory of plasticity as well as for the slow, steady state flow of generalized Newtonian fluids including the Bingham and Prandtl-Eyr
