The deformation behavior of a structure under cyclic loading condition is simulated by using FEM analysis in which a cyclic plasticity model, so-called extended subloading surface model, is incorporated. The adopted cyclic plasticity model is categorized in the framework of the unconventional plasticity model premising that the interior of the yield surface is not a purely elastic domain. The developed FEM program does not include algorithms for both the yielding-judgment and the control of stress so as to lie on the yield surface, since the subloading surface model has the stress controlling function so that a stress approaches the yield surface automatically. In this study, several examples of FEM analysis on the cyclic deformation behaviors are presented to show the potential of the developed FEM program and an incorporated cyclic plasticity model.

In order to simulate mechanical fatigue phenomena under macroscopically elastic condition, the plastic stretching within a yield surface has to be described, whilst the plastic strain is induced remarkably as the stress approaches the dominant yielding state. In this study, a phenomenological plasticity model, proposed for the description of the cyclic loading behavior observed for typical carbon steels during the high-cycle fatigue subjected to stresses lower than the yield stress, is applied for the prediction of fatigue initiation life. The model is formulated based on the unconventional plasticity model and is applied for materials obeying isotropic and kinematic hardening law. The mechanical responses under cyclic loading conditions are examined briefly. Finally, the initiation life of fatigue cracking is discussed based on the proposed model with the damage counting parameter.
