Strain Behaviour

This paper is focused on the correct description of stress-strain behavior of the R7T steel. An experimental study on the wheel steel specimens including uniaxial as well as multiaxial tests has been conducted. The main attention was paid to such effects as ratcheting and nonproportional hardening of the material. A cyclically stable behavior of the steel under higher amplitude loading was found. The MAKOC model, which is based on AbdelKarim-Ohno kinematic hardening rule and Calloch isotropic hardening rule, has been applied in subsequent finite element simulations. The numerical results show very good prediction of stress-strain behaviour of the wheel steel.

This paper shows the stress-strain behavior of peat from the perspective of geotechnical engineering based on laboratory test. Stress happens when a load applied to a certain specimen and deformed the specimen while strain is the response from applied stress on a specimen. Peat is known as an ultimate soft soil in engineering terms because it has low shear strength and compressibility. This research is concerned about the stress-strain behavior of hemic peat. The undisturbed samples were collected at Parit Sulong and Parit Nipah, Batu Pahat, Johore, Malaysia. Normal stresses are 12.5kPa, 25kPa, 50kPa and 100kPa. The shear rate to determine the stress-strain on peat is 0.1mm/min. It is a drained condition test. Both results from each method that obtained were compared based on the relationships of stress-strain. Parit Sulong has higher stress-strain than Parit Nipah. If shear stress increased, shear strain also increased. The result shows that, direct simple shear test of stress-strain that tested on hemic is more relevant than a direct shear box because DSS shear the entire specimen of peat while DSB only shear at the center of the specimen. Geotechnical engineers can use the direct simple shear method to understand efficiently about the stress-strain behaviour of peat.

Uniaxial ratcheting behaviors of Z2CN18.10 austenitic stainless steel under both tensile pre-strain (TP) and compressive pre-strain (CP) were experimentally studied at room temperature. The experimental results show that: TP restrains ratcheting strain accumulation of subsequent cycling with positive mean stress; lower level of CP is found to accelerate ratcheting strain accumulation while higher level of CP retards the accumulation. Based on the Ohno-Wang II kinematic hardening rule, rate-independent model, viscoplastic model, isotropic hardening model and a modified model were constructed to describe the ratcheting behaviors under various pre-strain conditions. All the four models gave fairly good prediction on ratcheting strains for various TP. The isotropic hardening model and modified model predicted acceptable ratcheting strain though still showed slight tendency of over prediction.

AbstractIn this work the finite element (FE) implementation of the small strain cyclic plasticity is discussed. The family of elastoplastic constitutive models is considered which uses the mixed, kinematic-isotropic hardening rule. It is assumed that the kinematic hardening is governed by the Armstrong–Frederick law. The radial return mapping algorithm is utilized to discretize the general form of the constitutive equation. A relation for the consistent elastoplastic tangent operator is derived. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this formula has not been presented in the literature yet. The obtained set of equations can be used to implement the cyclic plasticity models into numerous commercial or non-commercial FE packages. A user subroutine UMAT (User’s MATerial) has been developed in order to implement the cyclic plasticity model by Yoshida into the open-source FE program CalculiX. The coding is included in the Appendix. It can be easily modified to implement any isotropic hardening rule for which the yield stress is a function of the effective plastic strain. The number of the utilized backstress variables can be easily increased as well. Several validation tests which have been performed in order to verify the code’s performance are discussed.

This study is to indicate the methodology of investigating the behavior of materials in the plastic domain while bearing cyclic loading i.e. low cycle fatigue. Materials under such loading, which experience huge amount of plastic deformation, are affected by the hardening or softening effects of loading which should be taken into account in all applications and numerical simulations as well. This work investigates the methodology of obtaining the nonlinear isotropic and kinematic hardening of steel CK45. To find the parameters of the above mentioned combined nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening one tensile test as well as three strain-controlled low cycle fatigue tests are carried out to extract the monotonic stress/strain curve and three diagrams of hysteresis curves, respectively. Then, four parameters necessary to simulate the nonlinear isotropic/ kinematic behavior of the material are extracted by means of curve fitting technique using MATLAB software. Afterwards, the accuracy of the data extracted from the experimental tests using the proposed methodology, are verified in a finite element package, ABAQUS, through implementing two user defined subroutines UMAT written in FORTRAN. It is indicated that the computed constants draw stress-strain curves much closer to experimental responses than isotropic hardening model does.  Eventually, the numerical results acquired by simulating the behavior of the sample under cyclic loading with importing the constants, calculated via combined hardening model, to ABAQUS reflects results highly close to the experimentally obtained response of the sample. It means that the procedure used to find the constants is accurate enough and consequently the constants computed are able to be used in both ABAQUS and subroutines.

Hardening Rules

Some materials exhibit Bauschinger effect as a consequence of strain hardening. The effect leads to asymmetric tensile and compressive stress-strain behaviour. If the hardening behaviour in either tension or compression is known, combined isotropic/kinematic hardening rules can be used to estimate the hardening behaviour in the other. These rules are, however, only approximate empirical relationships that are derived from the analysis of separate tensile and compressive test results. This article presents a method for the simultaneous derivation of tensile and compressive stress-strain behaviour from bending tests only. The information required is strains at the top and bottom surfaces of beams and moment as load is incrementally applied. The derivation of the method is based on the application of tensile and moment equilibrium conditions. The proposed method is tested on theoretical data obtained from finite-element analysis and as well as on data from actual experimental testing. The agreement between the results obtained is very good.

An analysis of the stress path and the strain trajectory of a pre-strained engineering material in the deviatoric plane is presented. The deviatoric stress vector, which for a pre-strained material is initially at an angle to the strain trajectory, is shown to coincide with it after the ‘recoverable’ energy is consumed. Experimental work is carried out on the yield criteria and the stress—strain relationships of a pre-strained commercially pure aluminium. The significance of the isotropic hardening rule in relation to a metal's straining memory is demonstrated. It is shown that beyond a stress level associated with an isotropic hardening rule based on the Mises yield criterion, the representative stress—strain curves of a pre-strained specimen run parallel to that of an annealed material.
