Abstract Yield clamping force of a bolt in plastic region tightening depends on yield point load of the bolt under combined loads of axial tension and thread torque induced by the tightening process. A new estimation method using interaction curve for yield is proposed, which is applied to the yield clamping force and maximum additional tension under external force. This estimation method utilizes the general yield criterion based on the rigid-plastic solution for combined loads of tension and torsion. The yield of the bolt is expressed by the point of the intersection between the interaction curve and loading path of the bolt in tightening or external loading. Considering the coefficient of friction at the flank of the thread and the residual thread torque after tightening, yield clamping force and maximum additional tension are obtained respectively by the simple formulas. The yield clamping force and the maximum additional tension of the bolt are examined experimentally by a combined load testing machine which can apply combined tensile and torsional loads on the threaded portion of the bolt. Estimated values by the proposed method shows good agreement with the experimental results. The proposed estimation method is superior to the conventional one which takes into account only the local yield criterion. Finally, the target zones of initial clamping force controlled by elastic region tightening, yield point tightening and plastic region tightening are examined. Usefulness of the yield clamping force is demonstrated based on the rigid-plastic model.

Abstract This paper focuses on the expansion process of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel tubular undergoing the large circumferential plastic deformation in expandable tubular technology. The expansion process was performed by propagating a mandrel through the tubular mechanically. This paper aimed at developing the mathematical models to predict the expansion force required for the radial expansion of the TWIP steel tubular using the rigid-perfectly plastic model and the linear hardening rigid plastic model, respectively. The volume incompressible condition together with the Tresca yield criterion was used to describe the plastic behavior of the tubular material in the expansion process. Besides, the finite element analysis of the expansion process was developed using the commercial software abaqus to validate the theoretical results and determine the scope of application of the derived expansion force formula. Further to this, the effect of the process parameters, such as the expansion ratio, friction coefficient and the cone angle, on the expansion force was investigated. It was found that the expansion force difference of two models have similar variation trend. The accuracy and applicability of the expansion force formula using the linear hardening rigid plastic model improve as the expansion ratio increases and the expansion cone angle decreases.

The present paper concerns the general solution for finite plane strain pure bending of incompressible, orthotropic sheets. In contrast to available solutions, the new solution is valid for inhomogeneous distributions of plastic properties. The solution is semi-analytic. A numerical treatment is only necessary for solving transcendent equations and evaluating ordinary integrals. The solution’s starting point is a transformation between Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates that is valid for a wide class of constitutive equations. The symmetric distribution relative to the center line of the sheet is separately treated where it is advantageous. It is shown that this type of symmetry simplifies the solution. Hill’s quadratic yield criterion is adopted. Both elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions are derived. Elastic unloading is also considered, and it is shown that reverse plastic yielding occurs at a relatively large inside radius. An illustrative example uses real experimental data. The distribution of plastic properties is symmetric in this example. It is shown that the difference between the elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions is negligible, except at the very beginning of the process. However, the rigid/plastic solution is much simpler and, therefore, can be recommended for practical use at large strains, including calculating the residual stresses.

The trajectory of an angular particle as it cuts a ductile target is, in general, complicated because of its dependence not only on particle shape, but also on particle orientation at the initial instant of impact. This orientation dependence has also made experimental measurement of impact parameters of single angular particles very difficult, resulting in a relatively small amount of available experimental data in the literature. The current work is focused on obtaining measurements of particle kinematics for comparison to rigid plastic model developed by Papini and Spelt. Fundamental mechanisms of material removal are identified, and measurements of rebound parameters and corresponding crater dimensions of single hardened steel particles launched against flat aluminium alloy targets are presented. Also a 2-D finite element model is developed and a dynamic analysis is performed to predict the erosion mechanism. Overall, a good agreement was found among the experimental results, rigid-plastic model predictions and finite element model predictions.

The microplane model is a versatile constitutive model in which the stress-strain relations are defined in terms of vectors rather than tensors on planes of all possible orientations, called the microplanes, representative of the microstructure of the material. The microplane model with kinematic constraint has been successfully employed in the modeling of concrete, soils, ice, rocks, fiber composites and other quasibrittle materials. The microplane model provides a powerful and efficient numerical tool for the development and implementation of constitutive models for any kind of material. The paper presents a review of the background from which the microplane model stems, highlighting differences and similarities with other approaches. The basic structure of the microplane model is then presented, together with its extension to finite strain deformation. Three microplane models for metal plasticity are introduced and discussed. They are compared mutually and with the classical J2-flow theory for incremental plasticity by means of two examples. The first is the material response to a nonproportional loading path given by uniaxial compression into the plastic region followed by shear (typical of buckling and bifurcation problems). This example is considered in order to show the capability of the microplane model to represent a vertex on the yield surface. The second example is the ‘tube-squash’ test of a highly ductile steel tube: a finite element computation is run using two microplane models and the J2-flow theory. One of the microplane models appears to predict more accurately the final shape of the deformed tube, showing an improvement compared to the J2-flow theory even when the material is not subjected to abrupt changes in the loading path direction. This review article includes 114 references.

Abstract Experimental results indicate the dependence of the yield-point phenomenon of mild steel on temperature, strain rate, duration of stress, and stress state. This paper proposes a yield criterion which can account for these variables. The theory is developed on the basis of a “structural” model, by which the behavior of microscopic and submicroscopic elements is idealized. The theory postulates as yield criterion a critical number of relaxation centers (active Frank-Read sources) or, equivalently, a critical size of relaxation centers. The transition-temperature phenomenon is considered to be the result of an inhibition of yielding (upper yield point) by means of geometry, temperature and/or strain rate. A relation is given which expresses its dependence on the state of stress and strain rate.

In the optimal design of a modern gun barrel, there are two main objectives to be achieved: increasing its strength-weight ratio and extending its fatigue life. This can be carried out by generating a residual stress field in the barrel wall, a process known as autofrettage. It is often necessary to machine the autofrettaged cylinder to its final configuration, an operation that will remove some of the desired residual stresses. In order to achieve a residual stress distribution which is as close as possible to the practical one, the following assumptions have been made in the present research on barrel analysis: A von Mises yield criterion, isotropic strain hardening in the plastic region in conjunction with the Prandtl-Reuss theory, pressure release taking into consideration the Bauschinger effect and plane stress conditions. The stresses are calculated incrementally by using the finite difference method, whereby the cylinder wall is divided into N-rings at a distance Δr apart. Machining is simulated by removing rings from both sides of the cylindrical surfaces bringing the cylinder to its final shape. After a theoretical development of the procedure and writing a suitable computer program, calculations were performed and a good correlation with the experimental results was found. The numerical results were also compared with other analytical and experimental solutions and a very good correlation in shape and magnitude has been obtained.
