Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the performance of the Chaboche model in relation to the database identification, tests with imposed deformations were conducted at room temperature on 304L stainless steel specimens. Design/methodology/approach The first two tests were performed in tension-compression between ±0.005 and ±0.01; in the third test, each cycle is composed of the combination of a compression tensile cycle between ±0.01 followed by a torsion cycle between ±0.01723 (non-proportional path), and the last, uniaxial ratcheting test with a mean stress between 250 MPa and −150 MPa. Several identifications of a Chaboche-type model were then performed by considering databases composed of one or more of the cited tests. On the basis of these identifications, the simulations of a large number of ratchet tests in particular were carried out. Findings The results present the effect of the optimized parameters on the prediction of the behavior of materials which is reported in the graphs, Optimizations 1 and 2 of first and second tests and Optimization 4 of the third test giving a good prediction of the increasing/decreasing pre-deformation amplitude. Originality/value The quality of the model's predictions strongly depends on the richness of the database used for the identification of the parameters.

Crash simulations were performed for automotive sheets. To understand the influence of crystal structures in sheet materials on crashworthiness, the effect of the yield function shape was studied by adopting the recently developed non-quadratic anisotropic yield surface, Yld2004-18p. The effect of the back-stress was also investigated by comparing simulation results obtained for the isotropic, kinematic and combined isotropic-kinematic hardening laws based on the modified Chaboche model. In addition, the effects of anisotropy and sheet thickness on crashworthiness were evaluated.

Abstract The Chaboche model is a well-validated non-linear kinematic hardening material model. This material model, like many models, depends on a set of material constants that must be calibrated for it to match the experimental data. Due to the challenge of calibrating these constants, the Chaboche model is often disregarded. The challenge with calibrating the Chaboche constants is that the most reliable method for doing the calibration is a brute force approach, which tests thousands of combinations of constants. Different sampling techniques and optimization schemes can be used to select different combinations of these constants, but ultimately, they all rely on iteratively selecting values and running simulations for each selected set. In the experience of the authors, such brute force methods require roughly 2,500 combinations to be evaluated in order to have confidence that a reasonable solution is found. This process is not efficient. It is time-intensive and labor-intensive. It requires long simulation times, and it requires significant effort to develop the accompanying scripts and algorithms that are used to iterate through combinations of constants and to calculate agreement. A better, more automated method exists for calibrating the Chaboche material constants. In this paper, the authors describe a more efficient, automated method for calibrating Chaboche constants. The method is validated by using it to calibrate Chaboche constants for an IN792 single-crystal material and a CM247 directionally-solidified material. The calibration results using the automated approach were compared to calibration results obtained using a brute force approach. It was determined that the automated method achieves agreeable results that are equivalent to, or supersede, results obtained using the conventional brute force method. After validating the method for cases that only consider a single material orientation, the automated method was extended to multiple off-axis calibrations. The Chaboche model that is available in commercial software, such as ANSYS, will only accept a single set of Chaboche constants for a given temperature. There is no published method for calibrating Chaboche constants that considers multiple material orientations. Therefore, the approach outlined in this paper was extended to include multiple material orientations in a single calibration scheme. The authors concluded that the automated approach can be used to successfully, accurately, and efficiently calibrate multiple material directions. The approach is especially well-suited when off-axis calibration must be considered concomitantly with longitudinal calibration. Overall, the automated Chaboche calibration method yielded results that agreed well with experimental data. Thus, the method can be used with confidence to efficiently and accurately calibrate the Chaboche non-linear kinematic hardening material model.

This contribution brings a new insight into pipe cross section ovalisation due to plastic deformation during pipe-lying process to the seabed. Firstly, the influence of material model calibration on ovalization prediction is presented on pure bending case including the Prager model, the Chaboche model and the modified Abdel-Karim–Ohno model. The mechanism responsible for cross section ovalisation was identified as the phenomenon of the accumulation of plastic deformation, the so-called ratcheting. The next part of this contribution presents main results of the pipe-laying process simulation. The pipe cross-section behavior during passing the considered pipe-laying system is studied in detail. A macro based solution makes possible to do a parametric study and to easily apply the offshore standard DNV-OS-F101 in technical practice.

A finite element procedure is implemented for the elastic-plastic analysis of carbon steels subjected to reciprocating fretting contacts. The nonlinear kinematic hardening rule based on Chaboche model is used to model the cyclic plastic behavior in fretting contacts. The results show that accumulation of plastic strains, i.e. ratchetting, may occur near the contact edge while elastic shakedown is likely to take place in substrate.

The Chaboche unified model with kinematic recovery term was used to describe the cyclic plasticity and viscoplasticity of a new nickel-based superlloy. The model response sensitivities to the change of each parameter of this Chaboche model under either stress control or strain control are calculated and analysed. Influential parameters were identified. This has facilitated the design of an efficient test matrix and the development of a gradient-driven non-linear optimisation algorithm.

Ratchetting behavior of SA-333 Gr. 6 carbon steel used as primary heat transport (PHT) piping material has been investigated with three constitutive models proposed by Armstrong-Frederick, Chaboche and Ohno-Wang involving different hardening rules. Performance of the above mentioned models have been evaluated for a broad set of uniaxial and biaxial loading histories. The uniaxial ratchetting simulations have been performed for a range of stress ratios (R) by imposing different stress amplitudes and mean stress conditions. Numerical simulations indicated significant ratchetting and opening of hysteresis loop for negative stress ratio with constant mean stress. Application of cyclic stress without mean stress (R = −1.0) has been observed to produce negligible ratchet-strain accumulation in the material. Simulation under the biaxial stress condition was based on modeling of an internally pressurized thin walled pipe subjected to cyclic bending load. Numerical results have been validated with the experiments as per simulation conditions. All three models have been found to predict the observed accumulation of circumferential strain with increasing number of cycles. However, the Armstrong Frederick (A-F) model was found to be inadequate in simulating the ratchetting response for both uniaxial as well as biaxial loading cases. The A-F model actually overpredicted the ratchetting strain in comparison with the experimental strain values. On the other hand, results obtained with the Chaboche and the Ohno-Wang models for both the uniaxial as well as biaxial loading histories have been observed to closely simulate the experimental results. The Ohno-Wang model resulted in better simulation for the presents sets of experimental results in comparison with the Chaboche model. It can be concluded that the Ohno-Wang model suited well compared to the Chaboche model for above sets of uniaxial and biaxial loading histories.

Isothermal uniaxial low cycle fatigue tests have been performed at two different total strain ranges (1.5% and 2.5%) and at different temperatures (20, 200, 400 and 600°C) for Alloy 600 and Inconel 82 materials. The materials hardening behaviour has been fitted using the Lemaitre Chaboche formulations using different fitting strategies. Thermo mechanical tests have been performed using a Gleeble machine on both parent material and weld metal. In these tests thermal cycles were applied to a constrained specimen simulating the welding conditions in both the heat affected zone and a weld bead when subsequent beads are deposited alongside. The tests were modelled using two different FE codes, namely Code_Aster and Abaqus. This allowed the validation of the Lemaitre-Chaboche model parameters when the material is subjected to realistic thermo-mechanical cycles. Simulations were conducted using both annealing and/or viscous recovery features to examine their impact on the predicted response.
