A simplified treatment is presented for the analysis of tubular specimens subject to in-phase tension-torsion loads in the elasto-plastic regime. Use is made of a hardening function readily obtainable from the uniaxial cyclic stress-strain curve and hysteresis loops. Expressions are given for incremental as well as deformation theories of plasticity. The reversals of loading are modelled by referring the flow equations to the point of reversal and calculating distances from the point of reversal using a yield critertion. The method has been used to predict the deformation response of in-phase tests on an En15R steel, and comparisons with experimental data are provided. The material exhibited a non-Masing type behaviour. A power law rule is developed for predicting multiaxial cyclic response from uniaxial data by incorporating a hysteretic strain hardening exponent.

When subjected to permanent ground deformations, buried pipelines may fail by local buckling (wrinkling under compression) or by tensile rupture. The initial assessment of the effects of predicted seismic fault movements on the buried pipeline is performed using analytical approaches by Newmark-Hall and Kennedy et al, which is restricted to cases when the pipeline is put into tension. Further analysis is then undertaken using finite element methods to assess the elasto-plastic response of the pipeline response to the fault movements, particularly the compressive strain limits. The finite element model is set up to account for the geometric and material non-linear parameters. The pipe material behaviour is generally assumed to have a smooth strain hardening (roundhouse) post-yield behaviour and defined using the Ramberg-Osgood stressstrain curve definition with the plasticity modelled using incremental theory with a von Mises yield surface, associated flow rule and isotropic hardening. However, material tests on seamless pipes (X-grade) show that the stress-strain curve typically displays a Lu¨der’s plateau behaviour (yield point elongation) in the post-yield state. The Lu¨der’s plateau curve is considered conservative for pipeline design and could have a significant impact on strain-based integrity assessment. This paper compares the pipeline response from a roundhouse stress-strain curve with that obtained from a pipe material exhibiting Lu¨der’s plateau behaviour and also examines the implications of a Lu¨der’s plateau for pipeline structural integrity assessments.

ABSTRACTThe determination of plastic properties of metallic materials by nanoindentation requires the analysis of the indentation process and the evaluation methods. Particular effects on the nanoscale, like the indentation size effect or piling up of the material around the indentation, need to be considered. Nanoindentation experiments were performed on conventional grain sized (CG) as well as on ultrafine-grained (UFG) copper and brass. The indentation experiments were complemented with finite element simulations using the monotonic stress-strain curve as input data. All indentation tests were carried out using cube-corner and Berkovich geometry and thus different amount of plastic strain was applied to the material, according to Tabors theory. We find an excellent agreement between simulations and experiments for the UFG materials from which a representative strain of εB ≈ 0.1 and εcc ≈ 0.2 is determined. With these data, the slope of the stress-strain curve is predicted for all materials down to an indentation depth of 800 nm.

Introduction:Square reinforced concrete (RC) columns with the confinement effect of transverse reinforcement perform well in ductility and have been used widely in RC structures. Its behavior is the classic topic of anti-seismic and anti-collapse analysis of RC structures. With the advancement of the finite element (FE) analysis technology, the general-purpose simulation tools such as ABAQUS and ANSYS have been universally used to analyze the behavior of structures and members, where the material constitutive model is a key problem in the analysis.Methods:In this study, a new uniaxial compressive stress-strain curve of the confined concrete considering confinement effect of transverse reinforcement in square RC columns was proposed for the concrete damaged plasticity model in ABAQUS to solve the problem that there is no proper uniaxial compressive stress-strain curve for the concrete damaged plasticity model to describe the behavior of concrete confined by transverse reinforcement. Based on the proposed stress-strain relationship, a FE model was developed to analyze the behaviour of laterally confined RC columns under concentric loading.Results:The finite element model is able to predict the response of the confined RC columns from different experiments with reasonable accuracy. Finally, a parametric study was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of confinement reinforcement configuration on the behavior of core concrete in square section.

Crystal plasticity parameters for numerical simulations are difficult to experimentally measure on the microscopic scale. One possible approach to avoid the difficulty is to determine the parameters that can be used to reproduce the stress–strain curve by employing a polycrystalline aggregate model. In this study, the effect of crystal plasticity parameters on stress–strain curves on a macroscopic scale and on stress distribution on a microscopic scale was investigated by using polycrystalline aggregate simulation. The parameters investigated were initial slip strength (τ0), initial hardening modulus (h0) and saturation slip strength (τs). The effect of these parameters on macroscopic stress–strain curves was found to be the followings: τ0 controls the yield stress or proof stress, and both h0 and τs control the strain-hardening behavior. The effect of these parameters on microscopic stress distribution was also investigated because similar stress–strain curve can be obtained by using different sets of crystal plasticity parameters. Consequently, even if these parameters are slightly different, a similar microscopic stress distribution can be obtained by properly reproducing the macroscopic stress–strain curve.

AbstractTo determine the stress–strain curve of a ductile material up to the fracture from a tensile test, the necking contour is measured by an optical measurement technique. The radius of the minimal cross-sectional area and the radius of curvature are used as input for analytical necking corrections of the stress–strain curve, as well as for finite element inverse simulations. Due to the increasing surface roughness that develops during testing, a precise determination of the specimen contour is very challenging. This is crucial, since the second derivative is required for estimating the radius of curvature. A dedicated contour-tracking algorithm was developed to deal with the surface roughness and a specimen painted white with black background was found to provide enough contrast. The new algorithm was implemented in a software, which is made available as open source. Tests were made for an isotropic, commercially pure aluminum alloy and for an axisymmetric, peak aged AA6082 alloy, based on image recording by a digital camera and synchronized force measurements. Modeling by finite element simulations was performed to assess the accuracy of analytical corrections of the stress–strain curves by inverse modeling and for designing a robust contour-tracking algorithm.

Industries have shown interest in the use of dissimilar metals to make corrosion-resistant materials combined with good mechanical properties in marine environments. Explosive welding can be considered a good method for joining dissimilar materials to prevent galvanic corrosion. The aim of the present study was to simulate the non-linear behaviour of a Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 welded joint obtained by explosion welding from the values of the tensile ultimate strength and yielding strength of the parent materials. The present study compared the stress-strain curve from tensile loading obtained by the non-linear finite element analysis with the experimental stress-strain curve of a bimetallic joint. The applied method provides useful information for the development of models and the prediction of the structural behaviour of Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 explosive welded joints.
