Prager's Hardening Rule

Submitted by felton1990 on

Hi all

I am currently investigating Prager hardening room which is stated as the simplist linear kinematic hardening rule. I was wondering if anyone has worked with this model and if so if you have managed to identify how to determine the constant used for the back stress equation

 

dα =C * dεp ( this is epsilon dot p which is the equivalent plastic strain)

 

Please can you let me know how to determine the constant C from experimental results? 

Curve Fitting for Viscoplastic (Anand) Model in ANSYS

Submitted by SaiSudharsanan on

Hello everyone, 

            I would like to know if it is possible to use TBFT option in ANSYS to curve-fit Anand's model parameters using experimental force-displacement data.

     I am aware that the ANSYS manual  has description for hyperelastic and even chaboche model, but is there an established procedure to obtain Anand model parameters using experimental curve fitting ? 

 

Thank you. 

Measurement of the Bauschinger Behavior of Sheet Metals by Three-point Bending Springback Test with Pre-strained Strips

Submitted by Shunlai.Zang on

In numerical simulation of sheet metal
forming process, the cyclic mechanical behavior of metallic sheet is
required to calibrate the material parameters of the combined
isotropic-kinematic hardening model. Therefore the development of
experimental device and method is an important work in order to
measure the cyclic mechanical behavior of metallic sheet. There are
several experimental devices which can measure this cyclic mechanical
behavior of sheet metal mainly to measure the Bauschinger behavior.
Often, these experiments can be classified into three main
categories: (i) in-plane tension-compression test; (ii) in-plane
cyclic simple shear test; (iii) bending-reverse bending test.

In this paper, a novel approach is

Evading the strength-ductility trade-off dilemma in steel through gradient hierarchical nanotwins

Submitted by Yujie Wei on

It is a long-standing goal in metallurgy to enhance the strength of materials without sacrificing ductility. In a recent article in Nature Communications, we reported an effective way to evade the strength-ductility trade-off dilemma in twin-induced plasticity steel.

Hi

Has anyone followed the book Inelasticity of Materials by Arun Srinivasa?

 I was interested in the way he used lumped parameter models to describe material behaviour in Chapter 3. Trying to follow his methodology I wanted to implement it for some experimental results I have.

 However, I have faced an obstacle in trying to work out the hardening modulus of the the material in question. He has worked it out for his example case by curve fitting but I am just not getting the answer.

Modeling associative Tresca plasticity in ABAQUS?

Submitted by mmd110 on

Hi

I have a simple question. How could I model associative Tresca plasticity in ABAQUS?

 I use Property module: material editor: Mechanical:Plasticity:Mohr Coulomb Plasticity

I know that In the case (friction angle=0) of  the Mohr-Coulomb model reduces to the pressure-independent Tresca model with a perfectly hexagonal deviatoric section.
