Herein the concept of scaled memory (SM) is proposed to describe hysteretic material behaviors. SM scales the nonlinear variation of tangential modulus during monotonic loadings into a piecewise linear distribution, which can easily be modified to simulate specific characteristics of material behavior during cyclic loadings. As an example, SM is applied to eliminate artificial ratchetting in bounding surface plasticity, and to produce closed stress-strain loops during cyclic loadings, without introducing a single material constant. SM is generalized to six dimensions in the particular case of pressure-independent materials, and is applied to simulate the hysteretic responses of metals.

This paper describes high temperature cyclic and creep relaxation testing and modeling of a high nickel-chromium material (XN40F) for application to the life prediction of superplastic forming (SPF) tools. An experimental test program to characterize the high temperature cyclic elastic-plastic-creep behavior of the material over a range of temperatures between 20°C and 900°C is described. The objective of the material testing is the development of a high temperature material model for cyclic analyses and life prediction of SPF dies for SPF of titanium aerospace components. A two-layer viscoplasticity model, which combines both creep and combined isotropic-kinematic plasticity, is chosen to represent the material behavior. The process of material constant identification for this model is presented, and the predicted results are compared with the rate-dependent (isothermal) experimental results. The temperature-dependent material model is furthermore applied to simulative thermomechanical fatigue tests, designed to represent the temperature and stress-strain cycling associated with the most damaging phase of the die cycle. The model is shown to give good correlation with the test data, thus vindicating future application of the material model in thermomechanical analyses of SPF dies for distortion and life prediction.

The anulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral disc exhibits spatial variations in structure and composition that give rise to both anisotropy and inhomogeneity in its material behaviors in tension. In this study, the tensile moduli and Poisson’s ratios were measured in samples of human AF along circumferential, axial, and radial directions at inner and outer sites. There was evidence of significant inhomogeneity in the linear-region circumferential tensile modulus (17.4±14.3 MPa versus 5.6±4.7 MPa, outer versus inner sites) and the Poisson’s ratio ν21 (0.67±0.22 versus 1.6±0.7, outer versus inner), but not in the axial modulus (0.8±0.9 MPa) or the Poisson’s ratios ν12 (1.8±1.4) or ν13 (0.6±0.7). These properties were implemented in a linear anisotropic material model of the AF to determine a complete set of model properties and to predict material behaviors for the AF under idealized kinematic states. These predictions demonstrate that interactions between fiber populations in the multilamellae AF significantly contribute to the material behavior, suggesting that a model for the AF as concentric and physically isolated lamellae may not be appropriate.

Abstract. A computationally efficient method is proposed to replace the piecewise linear number distribution in a hybrid bin scheme with a piecewise cubic polynomial. When the linear distribution is replaced by a cubic, the errors generated in solutions to the condensation/evaporation equation are reduced by a factor of two to three. Alternatively, using the cubic distribution function allows reducing the number of bins by 20 ± 5% when solving the condensation/evaporation problem without sacrificing accuracy.

Abstract This paper proposes an extension of the nite cell method (FCM) to V-rep models, a novel geometric framework for volumetric representations. This combination of an embedded domain approach (FCM) and a new modelingframework (V-rep) forms the basis for an efficient and accurate simulation of mechanical artifacts, which are not only characterized by complex shapes but also by their non-standard interior structure. These types of objects gain more and more interest in the context of the new design opportunities opened by additive manufacturing, in particular when graded or micro-structured material is applied. Two different types of functionally graded materials (FGM) are considered: The rst one, multi-material FGM is described using the inherent property of V-rep models to assign different properties throughout the interior of a domain. The second, single-material FGM { which is heterogeneously micro-structured { characterizes the effective material behavior of representative volume elements by homogenization and performs large-scale simulations using the embedded domain approach.

The need for the best material behavior at any location within high performance component systems leads to diversified material combinations. One example is the material mixture in today’s vehicles: steel, aluminum, magnesium, plastics, fibers, glass and other solids. These combinations need new or modified fastening technologies, because traditional techniques like welding or bolting up to now are mainly focused on single material joints. Besides this, the loading level during operation of the components increases continuously, so the behavior of the involved fastening systems under operating conditions also has to be known. Fastening systems with light metals show a significant thermal induced change of clamping/preload. This paper gives an overview with some optimized exemplary fastening systems from the automotive sector which could be partly transferred to other industry branches. The paper also emphasizes that various details of designing fastening systems are decisive for reliability and stability.

This paper obtains a closed-form general solution to the two-surface plasticity theory for linear stress paths. The simple two-surface model is discussed first. It is shown that according to this model, the response of the material stabilizes immediately during the first loading cycle. That is, the memory surface reaches its maximum size with a radius equal to the maximum effective stress and then remains unchanged thereafter, while the yield center translates along a line parallel to the stress path, thus always leading to a constant plastic strain growth rate. As a result, the model predicts that under any cyclic linear loading conditions, the material response can always be ratchetting, with no possibility of shakedown of any kinds, which violates those aspects of material behavior that are generally deemed essential in constitutive modeling. The general two-surface theory is also discussed in this paper, and some comments are made.

Several assumptions are commonly made throughout the literature with regard to the mechanical expression of material behavior under a Ramberg–Osgood material model; specifically, the negligible effects of nonlinearity on the elastic behavior of the material. These assumptions do not reflect the complicated nonlinearity implied by the Ramberg–Osgood expression, which can lead to significant differences in the member model response from the true material behavior curve. With the proposed approach, new explicit results for Ramberg–Osgood materials are achieved without relying on these assumptions of material and model expression. The only assumptions present within the proposed model are the standard mechanical assumptions of an Euler beam. A general nonlinear moment–curvature relationship for monotone material behaviors is constructed. Large deflections of cantilever Euler beams with rectangular cross-sections under a combined loading are modeled. Numerical validation of this new method against results already given in the literature for the special cases of linear and power-law material behaviors are provided. An analysis is presented for three common material behavior relationships, with a focus on how these relationships are expressed through the deflection of members under the application of force within the model; this analysis clearly demonstrates that the sub-yield nonlinear behavior of the Ramberg–Osgood expression can be significant. The distinctions between material behavior expression demonstrated in this analysis have been long overlooked within the literature. This work addresses a gap between the modeling of Ramberg–Osgood material behaviors and the implementation of that model in mechanics.

Roll forming has been widely used to produce steel sheet with low formability such as Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS). It allows the steel sheet to be formed through successive bending process into a desired shape which even cannot be formed by press brake forming. Although the process effectively improves the formability of UHSS, there still the remains accuracy issue such as springback, flair, bow and so on. Especially, springback of UHSS is one of the major challenges in roll forming process as much as press forming process. In this paper, the springback of 1.5 GPa grade steel in roll forming process was numerically investigated for automotive sill-side inner component. The material behavior was described by using the selected hardening models: isotropic hardening (Piecewise linear model), linear kinematic hardening (Prager model [6]), nonlinear kinematic hardening model (Yoshida-Uemori model [7]). A commercial software LS-DYNA was utilized for the analysis. Eighteen successive roll stages were modelled for the simulation. From the results, it was found that the springback prediction during roll forming process could be successfully achieved when the complicated material behaviors including Bauschinger effect, nonlinear transient hardening, and changeable unloading modulus are taken into account for the Finite Element (FE) simulation.
