In order to describe inelastic response of metals at room or elevated temperatures for complex loading histories, the combined isotropic-kinematic hardening model is discussed. The monotonic and cyclic loading histories are associated with variation of two different hardening parameters and the maximal prestress is assumed to affect essentially the material response. First, the hardening model is applied within time-independent plasticity and next the elevated temperature creep deformation is studied for both monotonic and cyclic loading. The degradation rules are briefly discussed in the last part of the paper.

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.

In this research, a simplified rotational kinematic hardening model with the concept of sub-loading was used to predict behaviors of Concrete-Faced Rock-fill Dam under complex loading conditions. The model can overcome the shortcomings of classic elastoplastic model (i.e. soil behaviors under cyclic loading-unloading can be predicted). Elastoplastic formula of the model was presented in detail. Then this model was verified with test results of coarse grained soils, under both monotonic loading and cyclic loading-unloading conditions. This model was also applied to analyze deformation of Shuibuya rock-fill dam, computed results and in-situ measurements are compared. Results showed that computed results were consistent with in-situ measurements in both construction and operation period. Results also showed that permanent deformation that was caused by fluctuations of the reservoir level can also be predicted by this rotational kinematic hardening model.

A two-surface kinematic hardening model for the stress-strain response of metals under nonproportional tension-torsion cyclic loading is developed and verified with critical experiments. In this model, both the yield and limit surfaces are assumed to be ellipses in the two-dimensional stress plane to account for anisotropic cyclic hardening. Areas of the yield and limit surfaces are changed in order to model the overall isotropic cyclic hardening (or softening) behavior. The strength anisotropy is modeled by changing the ellipticity and orientation of the elliptical surfaces with respect to the stress axes. A nonproportionality parameter based on the plastic strain history is developed to estimate the cyclic hardening level under nonproportional loading. It is shown that this model is able to model a number of important deformation features of metals under complex nonproportional cyclic loading.

ABSTRACTStructural integrity plays an important role in any industrial activity, due to its capability of assessing complex systems against sudden and unpredicted failures. The work here presented investigates an unexpected new mechanism occurring in structures subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading at high temperature creep condition. An unexpected accumulation of plastic strain is observed to occur, within the high-temperature creep dwell. This phenomenon has been observed during several full inelastic finite element analyses. In order to understand which parameters make possible such behaviour, an extensive numerical study has been undertaken on two different notched bars. The notched bar has been selected due to its capability of representing a multiaxial stress state, which is a practical situation in real components. Two numerical examples consisting of an axisymmetric v-notch bar and a semi-circular notched bar are considered, in order to investigate different notches severity. Two material models have been considered for the plastic response, which is modelled by both Elastic-Perfectly Plastic and Armstrong-Frederick kinematic hardening material models. The high-temperature creep behaviour is introduced using the time hardening law. To study the problem several results are presented, as the effect of the material model on the plastic strain accumulation, the effect of the notch severity and the mesh element type and sensitivity. All the findings further confirm that the phenomenon observed is not an artefact but a real mechanism, which needs to be considered when assessing off-design condition. Moreover, it might be extremely dangerous if the cyclic loading condition occurs at such a high loading level.
