A procedure is described for solving plane strain rigid perfect‐plasticity problems which lead to linear integral equations. The problem of finding the initial characteristic (slip‐line), from which the complete field can be constructed, is reduced to a simple matrix inversion. Although the form of this matrix will depend on the particular problem concerned, it will be expressible in terms of a few fundamental matrices which occur in all problems of this type. The properties of these basic matrices and FORTRAN subroutines for assimilating them and for performing the corresponding linear transformations are given in detail. In illustration the procedure is applied to a drawing and to a strip rolling problem.

The elimination of a class of possible slip-line field solutions for orthogonal machining indicates that the process is not uniquely defined. The range of possible solutions for any value of tool rake angle and interfacial shear stress is shown to be associated with large variations in the curvature of the machined chip. Machining conditions are split into two types, for one of which the machined chip will always curl, while the other has the Lee & Shaffer slip-line field as a lower limit of the solution range. The extent of the solution range for any value of friction is found to decrease with increasing rake angle. The analysis is shown to be consistent with certain experimental work available.
