Combined axial-torsional experiments have been conducted at room temperature on thin-walled tubes to investigate the strain hardening behavior of annealed 304 stainless steel due to creep. The constant strain-rate dynamic loading (or SCISR) surfaces representing the state of material before and after creep have benn determined. It has been found that transient creep essentially causes the loading surface to undergo kinematic hardening with insignificant amount of isotropic hardening for this material. A conclusion is drawn that the loading surface hardened by transient creep is the same as that hardened by plastic deformation. This is true both for specimens with pure tension and pure torsion loading paths. The results confirm assumptions of the overstress theory of viscoplasticity.

Creep of metals has been investigated by means of the endochronic constitutive equation. This is a unified approach. Transient creep tests have been conducted on 304 stainless-steel specimens with carefully monitored precreep loading stage, either loaded at a prescribed constant strain-rate or at a constant stress-rate. It has been found that, for the same hold stress, the creep strain is larger for test with a constant stress-rate preloading than that for a constant strain-rate preloading. This is an effect of plasticity-creep interaction. In all cases, the initial creep strain rate is a continuation of the preloading strain rate. The theory satisfactorily describes the experimental results.

Constant strain-rate plastic straining followed by creep tests were conducted to investigate the effect of prior plastic straining on the subsequent creep behavior of 304 stainless steel at room temperature. The effects of plastic strain and plastic strain-rate were delineated by a specially designed test procedure, and it is found that both factors have a strong influence on the subsequent creep deformation. A creep model combining the two factors is then developed. The predictions of the model are in good agreement with the test results.

Four kinds of creep constitutive models, i.e., strain-hardening, modified strain-hardening, kinematic-hardening, and mixed-hardening theory, are evaluated on the basis of creep-test results on type 304 stainless steel at 650°C under repeated multiaxial loading. The predictions of the four models are compared with the experimental results. It is shown that substantial differences appear among these predictions under large rotations of the principal axes of the deviatoric stress tensor, and that none of them can describe with sufficient accuracy the transient increase of strain-rate and the noncollinearity between the deviatoric stress and creep strain-rate vectors which are observed just after the stress-rotations.

The present study considers the effect of strain hardening on elastic-plastic contact of a deformable sphere with a rigid flat under full stick contact condition using commercial finite element software ANSYS. Different values of tangent modulus are considered to study the effect of strain hardening. It is found that under a full stick contact condition, strain hardening greatly influences the contact parameters. Comparison has also been made between perfect slip and full stick contact conditions. It is observed that the contact conditions have negligible effect on contact parameters. Studies on isotropic and kinematic hardening models reveal that the material with isotropic hardening has the higher load carrying capacity than that of kinematic hardening particularly for higher strain hardening.
