ARE SOCIAL STRUCTURES DETERMINED BY THE ECONOMY
We simulate the interplay between productive and financial activity using a model that considers equal opportunities among individuals of a society. As the simulation evolves in time, three qualitative wealth distribution profiles are generated according to the flux of productive capital. We relate these curves to different socioeconomic structures: a primitive equalitarian society; a medieval society having a distribution of wealth with castes and discontinuities; and a modern society where this distribution is roughly exponential.
In the present work, Von Mises criterion and its distortional energy density interpretation proposed for plastic mechanics is employed to study the effect of temperature on plastic yielding behavior of metal
