Theoretical derivations are presented for the relations between maximum deflection and the corresponding maximum strain for some simple beams subject to elastic-plastic bending. Both elastic-perfectly plastic and arbitrary stress-strain relations are considered. Where possible, explicit analytical solutions are given, but where this is not possible numerical solutions are obtained by means of computer programmes. The calculations show that in elastic-perfectly plastic material short plastic zones may develop and cause large strains in the beam even though the deflection corresponding to first yield is not greatly exceeded. On the other hand, strain hardening elongates the plastic zones, so producing a more favourable strain distribution along the length of the beam than would exist without it. The more pronounced the strain-hardening characteristic, i.e. the greater the rate of increase of stress with strain, the less concentrated will be the strains. The mode of loading is important in that the higher the rate of change of bending moment, in the region of ihe maximum bending moment, the more concentrated will be the local strains.

Abstract The knowledge of the inelastic behavior of metals has experienced considerable growth in the last few years. To draw all the advantages possible from the experiments, frequently very difficult, an effort has been made to bring the entire development under some dominating physical ideas. These ideas are in fact very old, and deal mainly with the proper conception of the hidden elastic energy that is responsible for the statical component of the strain hardening. The analytical treatment of the inelastic behavior gives promise of being valuable not only in the testing of materials, but even for the designer of machines used in the forming of metals.

This paper describes the relationship between Rockwell C hardness and elastic-plastic material constants by using finite element analyses. Finite element Rockwell C hardness analyses were carried out to study the effects of friction coefficient and elastic-plastic material constants on the hardness. The friction coefficient and Young’s modulus had no influence on the hardness but the inelastic materials constants, yield stress, and strain hardening coefficient and exponent, had a significant influence on the hardness. A new equation for predicting the hardness was proposed as a function of yield stress and strain hardening coefficient and exponent. The equation evaluated the hardness within a ±5% difference for all the finite element and experimental results. The critical thickness of specimen and critical distance from specimen edge in the hardness testing was also discussed in connection with JIS and ISO standards.

A relatively simple analytical treatment of the behavior of a rigid-plastic annular plate subjected to an initial linear impulsive velocity profile is presented. The influence of finite deflections has been included in addition to strain-hardening and strain-rate sensitivity of the plate material. It is shown, for deflections up to the order of twice the plate thickness, that strain-hardening is unimportant, strain-rate sensitivity has somewhat more effect, while membrane forces play a dominant role in reducing the permanent deflections.
