An Improvement of Multiaxial Ratchetting Modeling Via Yield Surface Distortion

Many theoretical studies have been made to describe multiaxial ratchetting and most of them have been concentrated on the location of the yield domain, not on its shape. In this paper, we introduce nonlinear kinematic constitutive equations consistent with ratchetting modeling into the distortional model of subsequent yield surfaces proposed by Kurtyka, T., and Zyczkowski, M. We use an efficient polycrystalline model to simulate complex tests including yield surface detections in order to get some reference predictions to use in the development of the constitutive laws introduced into the distortional model. The distortional model is thus qualitatively identified with the polycrystalline model and then quantitatively identified with the experimental results on a type 316L stainless steel. It gives promising results.
