Redistribution of residual stresses in a stamped sheet metal leads to the springback phenomenon. Springback phenomenon is well predicted for some mild steel materials, but not for steels with higher strengths. Nowadays, one of the most used tools to stamping optimization is usage of numerical simulations. In this paper was investigated sheet metal behavior under cyclic tension-compression test. Special fixture which serves as a buckling prevention of sheet metal in the compression phase of measuring stress-strain curve was designed. Obtained stress-strain curve was used to the definition of kinematic hardening model in numerical simulation. This model was verified with the real experiment in deep drawing process.

Definition Of

Three different definitions of the yield point have been used in experimental work on the yield locus: proportional limit, proof strain and the ‘yield point’ by backward extrapolation. The theoretical implications of the ‘yield point’ by backward extrapolation are examined in an analysis of the loading and re-loading stress paths. It is shown, in connection with experimental results by Miastkowski and Szczepinski, that the proportional limit found by inspection is in fact a point located by backward extrapolation based on a small section of the stress-strain curve, near the elastic portion of the curve. The effect of different definitions of the yield point on the shape of the yield locus and some considerations for the choice between them are discussed.

To date, various predictive models for high strength concrete (HSC) have been proposed that are capable of generating complete stress-strain curves. These models were validated for HSC prepared with and without silica fume. In this paper, an investigation on these predictive models has been presented by applying them on two different series of HSC. The first series of HSC was prepared by utilizing 100% cement content, while second series was prepared by utilizing 90% cement and 10% Metakaolin. The compressive strength of the concrete was ranged from 71-87 MPa. For each series of HSC, total four cylinders of the size 100×200mm were cast to obtain the stress-strain curves at 28 days.It has been found that the pattern of the stress-strain curve of each cylinder among four cylinders of each series was different from other, in spite of preparing from the similar batch. When predictive models were applied to these cylinders using their test data then it was found that all models more or less deficient to accurately predict the stress-strain behavior.

Strain Relationship

Buried pipelines can be exposed to displacement-controlled environmental loadings (such as landslides, earthquake fault movements, etc.) which impose deformation demands on the pipeline. When analyzing pipelines for these load scenarios, the deformation demands are typically characterized based on the curvature and/or the longitudinal tension and compression strain response of the pipe. The term “strain demand” is used herein to characterize the calculated longitudinal strain response of a pipeline subject to environmentally-induced deformation demands. The shape of the pipe steel stress-strain relationship can have a significant effect on the pipe strain demands computed using pipeline deformation analyses for displacement-controlled loading conditions. In general, with sufficient levels of imposed deformation demand, a pipe steel stress-strain curve with a relatively abrupt or “sharp” elastic-to-plastic transition will tend to lead to larger strain demands than a stress-strain curve with a relatively rounded elastic-to-plastic transition. Similarly, a stress-strain curve with relatively low strain hardening modulus characteristics will tend to lead to larger strain demands than a stress-strain curve with relatively high strain hardening modulus characteristics. High strength UOE pipe can exhibit significant levels of anisotropy (i.e., the shapes of the stress-strain relationships in the longitudinal tension/compression and hoop tension/compression directions can be significantly different). To the extent that the stress-strain curves in the different directions can have unfavorable shape characteristics, it follows that anisotropy can also play an important role in pipeline strain demand evaluations. This paper summarizes a pipeline industry research project aimed at evaluation of the effects of anisotropy and the shape of pipe steel stress-strain relationships on pipeline strain demand for X80 and X100 UOE pipe. The research included: a review of pipeline industry literature on the subject matter; a discussion of pipe steel plasticity concepts for UOE pipe; characterization of the anisotropy and stress-strain curve shapes for both conventional and high strain pipe steels; development of representative analytical X80 and X100 stress-strain relationships; and evaluation of a large matrix of ground-movement induced pipeline deformation scenarios to evaluate key pipe stress-strain relationship shape and anisotropy parameters. The main conclusion from this work is that pipe steel specifications for high strength UOE pipe for strain-based design applications should be supplemented to consider shape-characterizing parameters such as the plastic complementary energy.

The roll levelling is a forming process used to remove the residual stresses and imperfections of metal strips by means of plastic deformations. The process is especially important to avoid final geometrical errors when coils are cold formed or when thick plates are cut by laser. In the last years, and due to the appearance of high strength materials such as Ultra High Strength Steels, machine design engineers are demanding a reliable tool for the dimensioning of the levelling facilities. In response to this demand, Finite Element Analysis is becoming an important technique able to lead engineers towards facilities optimization through a deeper understanding of the process.In this scenario, the accuracy and quality of the simulation results are highly dependent on the accuracy of the implemented material model. During roll levelling process, the sheet metal is subjected to cyclic tensile-compressive deformations, therefore a proper constitutive. model which considers the phenomena that occurs during cyclic loadings, such as the Bauschinger effec, work hardeningt and the transient behaviour, is needed. The prediction of all these phenomena which affect the final shape of the product are linked to the hardening rule.In the present paper, the roll levelling simulation of a DP1000 steel is performed using a combined isotropic-kinematic hardening formulation introduced by Chaboche and Lemaitre since its simplicity and its ability to predict the Bauschinger effect. The model has been fitted to the experimental curves obtained from a cyclic tension-compression test, which has been performed by means of a special tool developed to avoid the buckling of the specimen during compressive loadings. The model has been fitted using three different material hardening parameter identification methodologies which have been compared.

A viscoplastic constitutive equation based on the kinematic hardening creep theory of Malinin-Khadjinsky and the nonlinear kinematic hardening rule of Armstrong-Frederick is formulated to describe the inelastic behavior of high-density polyethylene under various loading. The gentle progress of back stress by the introduction of loading surface in the viscoplastic strain space and smaller material constant under unloading can be expressed. Material constants are identified by various stress-strain curves under compression at constant strain rate and creep curves under compression at constant stress. The viscoplastic model can describe stress-strain curve under compression with change in strain rate and shear stress-strain curve including unloading. The model can qualitatively describe stress-strain curves under compression with changed strain rate including unloading, but it is quantitatively insufficient.

The application of high strength steels like X100 are considered as an economical necessity in order to supply large volumes of gas over long distances in a competitive manner. The development of the grade X100 started more than 10 years ago and has progressed significantly. Therefore the focus of actual development and research work is focused on questions regarding the installation and the service behaviour of such high strength steels. In this context the TAP project has been launched by the ENI group in order to provide answers regarding the economic viability, the technological reliability and the real possibility of constructing high pressure pipelines with this newly developed steel grade. In this paper the manufacturing of line pipe in grade X100 for the TAP project including the two fibre reinforced crack arrestors will be summarized and the production results regarding strength and toughness we presented. Furthermore the analysis of tensile test results regarding the influence of specimen type, anisotropy and the effect of thermal treatment (low temperature ageing) on the stress-strain curve will be discussed.
