AbstractLocalization and nonlocalization are characterized as a measure of degrees of separation between two material points in material’s discrete framework and as a measure of unshared and shared information, respectively, manifested as physical quantities between them, in the material’s continuous domain. A novel equation of motion to model the deformation dynamics of material is proposed. The shared information between two localizations is quantified as nonlocalization via a novel multiscale notion of Local and Nonlocal Deformation-Gamuts or DG Localization and Nonlocalization. Its applicability in continuum mechanics to model elastoplastic deformation is demonstrated. It is shown that the stress–strain curves obtained using local and nonlocal deformation-gamuts are found to be in good agreement with the Ramberg–Osgood equation for the material considered. It is also demonstrated that the cyclic strain hardening exponent and cyclic stress–strain coefficient computed using local and nonlocal deformation-gamuts are comparable with the experimental results as well as the theoretical estimations published in the open literature.

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.

An experimental and theoretical study was performed of the nonlinear behavior of a simply supported flat circular aluminum plate under reversed cyclic central load. The application is for the analysis of cyclic stress and strain of structural components in the plastic range for predicting low-cycle fatigue life. The main purpose was to determine the relative accuracy of an elastic-plastic large deformation finite element analysis when the material properties input data are derived from monotonic (noncyclic) stress-strain curves versus that derived from cyclic stress-strain curves. The results showed that large errors could be induced in the theoretical prediction of cyclic strain range when using the monotonic stress-strain curve, which could lead to large errors in predicting low-cycle fatigue life. The use of cyclic stress-strain curves, according to the model developed by Morrow, et al., proved to be accurate and convenient.

The low-cycle fatigue behaviors of as-extruded and T6 treated Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloys at room temperature have been investigated under those total-strain amplitudes ranged from 0.3% to 1.0%, and the influence of T6 treatment on the low-cycle fatigue properties of Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy was clarified. The experimental results show that during fatigue deformation, the significant cyclic strain hardening and stable cyclic stress response can be noted for both as-extruded and T6 treated Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloys. The fatigue life of as-extruded Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy at all strain amplitudes is longer than that of the alloy subjected to T6 aging treatment. The relationship between both elastic and plastic strain amplitudes with reversals to failure shows a monotonic linear behavior, and can be described by the Basquin and Coffin-Manson equations, respectively. The T6 treatment can significantly increase the cyclic strain hardening exponent and cyclic strength coefficient of extruded Al-6Zn-2.5Mg-2Cu-0.1Zr-0.1Sc alloy.

Cyclic stress-strain curve and cyclic strain-life curve appear distinct scatters, and the scatter of fatigue life increases with reducing of the strain levels. A methodology for reliability simulation of low cycle fatigue (LCF) life for turbine disk structures is developed in this paper. First, probabilistic cyclic stress-strain model and linear heteroscedastic probabilistic cyclic strain-life model are founded based on the fatigue test data. Second, three dimensional model of a turbine disk is built, and the fatigue reliability analysis of this turbine disk is implemented in probabilistic design module (PDS) of ANSYS by the combination of response surface method (RSM) and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The predicted life with reliability 0.9987 is well consistent with the technology life obtained from disks LCF tests by scatter factors method.

A finite-element computational method is employed to determine the spatial distribution of stress and strain in a notched-plate fatigue specimen fabricated of mild steel. Because of cyclic strain softening of the material, there is a redistribution of stress and strain in the specimen as a function of the number of load cycles. This phenomenon is considered in the analysis by using cyclic stress-strain diagrams as effective stress-strain curves. The numerical results are found to correlate well with measured strain distributions reported in the literature.

Cyclic strain controlled multiple step tests have been performed on cylindrical specimens of cast -TiAl based alloy with 2 at.% of Nb with nearly lamellar microstructure at 23 and 750 °C in laboratory atmosphere with the aim to study the effect of temperature on the internal and effective cyclic stress components. At these temperatures, the evolution of the effective and internal stress components and the effective elastic moduli were derived from the hysteresis loops analyzed according to the statistical theory of hysteresis loop. Cyclic hardening/softening curves and cyclic stress-strain curves were obtained at both temperatures. Cyclic stress–strain curves measured using short-cut procedure coincide with the basic cyclic stress-strain curve. They are shifted to lower stresses with increasing temperature. Cyclic stress-strain response at both temperatures was compared and discussed in relation to changes of internal and effective stress components and dislocation modes referred in literature concerning this class of the material.

The article presents the results of research on low cycle fatigue strength of high-strength structural steel S960QL. During the tests, controlled force was applied using the different total strain amplitude εac and strain ratio Rε = 0.1. The obtained results allowed to determine the value of the cyclic strain hardening exponent n' and the cyclic strength coefficient K' and to draw the cyclic stress-strain curve. Analysis was also carried out of fatigue life based on the Manson-Coffin-Basquin equation. Fatigue values were also determined. Fractographic tests of fatigue fractures allowed to identify the causes of crack initiation and the course of their propagation.

Constitutive equations of cyclic strain and stress softening for materials with low internal stress levels are derived from the rate theory. The study shows that over the high stress and low temperature range where the description of plastic flow in cyclic softening can be approximated with activation over a single energy barrier, cyclic strain softening is well related to stress relaxation process while cyclic stress softening is related to creep process. The material structural characteristics for cyclic strain softening, cyclic stress softening and stress relaxation are identical. Subsequently, it is shown that cyclic stress and strain softening within the high stress and low temperature range can be evaluated from the constitutive equations using the material structural characteristics measured from a simple stress relaxation test.
