This paper continues the investigation of the elastic-plastic response of thin-walled tubes subjected to combined axial and torsional loads. The stress-strain loop under arbitrary variable loading is first discussed. It is then shown that due to the kinematic hardening, a steady state, either one of the reversed plasticity or one of the elastic shakedown, can always be reached under cyclic loadings, with a hysteresis loop in the form of a parallelogram or a straight line. As a result, the difference in response between nonproportional and proportional loading will finally disappear. The investigation indicates that the simple kinematic hardening rule is able to describe, at least qualitatively, certain basic characteristics of the material behavior observed in nonproportional tests.

This paper investigates the elastic-plastic response of thin-walled tubes subjected to combined axial and torsional loads. The kinematic hardening model is used and exact closed-form solutions are obtained for linear loading paths. The characteristics of the stress-strain relationships are discussed and the corresponding movements of the yield center are illustrated. The response of the material under nonproportional loading is proved to be path-dependent, and the hardening behavior is shown to be different from that under proportional loading. The investigation then shows that such a difference will finally disappear when the stresses tend to infinity.

A finite element procedure is implemented for the elastic-plastic analysis of carbon steels subjected to reciprocating fretting contacts. The nonlinear kinematic hardening rule based on Chaboche model is used to model the cyclic plastic behavior in fretting contacts. The results show that accumulation of plastic strains, i.e. ratchetting, may occur near the contact edge while elastic shakedown is likely to take place in substrate.

Details of the elastic–plastic transitions in crystalline compound semiconductors have been examined using spherical indentation. Two cubic (InP and GaAs) and two hexagonally structured semiconductors (ZnO and GaN) have been studied. A series of indentations have been made in each material at a number of different loads. The resulting load–penetration curves exhibited one or more discontinuities on loading (so called pop-in events). The load at which the initial pop-in event occurred has been measured along with the corresponding indenter extension. The elastic and elastic–plastic response of each material to spherical indentation has been calculated and compared with the experiment. By taking the difference between the elastic and elastic–plastic penetration depths, it has been found that the pop-in extension at each load could be predicted for each material. The detailed deformation behavior of each of the materials during indentation has also been discussed.

This paper presents an investigation of the shakedown behavior of tubes subjected to cyclic centrifugal force and temperature, and sustained internal and external pressures. It is found that the steady states can always be attained as a result of the kinematic hardening. Then, when shakedown occurs, the stresses and strains will cycle between the cooling state and the heating state. The steady-state solutions for the cases of elastic shakedown and reversed plasticity are discussed and given in this paper.

Several methods were proposed in recent years that allow the efficient calculation of elastic and elastic-plastic shakedown limits. This paper establishes a uniform framework for such methods that are based on perfectly-plastic material behavior, and demonstrates the connection to Melan's theorem of elastic shakedown. The paper discusses implications for simplified methods of establishing shakedown, such as those used in the ASME Code. The framework allows a clearer assessment of the limitations of such simplified approaches. Application examples are given.

The present paper concerns the general solution for finite plane strain pure bending of incompressible, orthotropic sheets. In contrast to available solutions, the new solution is valid for inhomogeneous distributions of plastic properties. The solution is semi-analytic. A numerical treatment is only necessary for solving transcendent equations and evaluating ordinary integrals. The solution’s starting point is a transformation between Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates that is valid for a wide class of constitutive equations. The symmetric distribution relative to the center line of the sheet is separately treated where it is advantageous. It is shown that this type of symmetry simplifies the solution. Hill’s quadratic yield criterion is adopted. Both elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions are derived. Elastic unloading is also considered, and it is shown that reverse plastic yielding occurs at a relatively large inside radius. An illustrative example uses real experimental data. The distribution of plastic properties is symmetric in this example. It is shown that the difference between the elastic/plastic and rigid/plastic solutions is negligible, except at the very beginning of the process. However, the rigid/plastic solution is much simpler and, therefore, can be recommended for practical use at large strains, including calculating the residual stresses.

A technique for elastic-plastic analysis of a thick-walled elastic-plastic cylinder under internal pressure is proposed. It involves two parametric functions and piecewise linearization of the stress-strain curve. A deformation type of relationship is combined with Hooke’s law in such a way that stress-strain law has the same form in all linear segments, but each segment involves different material parameters. Elastic values are used to describe elastic part of deformation during loading and also during unloading. The technique involves the use of deformed geometry to satisfy the boundary and other relevant conditions. The value of strain energy required for deformation is found to depend on whether initial or final geometry is used to satisfy the boundary conditions. In the case of low work-hardening solid, the difference is significant and cannot be ignored. As well, it is shown that the new formulation is appropriate for elastic-plastic fracture calculations.

Recently, our research team has been considering to applying shape memory alloys (SMA) constitutive model to analyze the large and small deformation about the SMA materials because of the thermo-dynamics and phase transformation driving force. Accordingly, our team use simulations method to illustrate the characteristics of the model in large strain deformation and small strain deformation when different loading, uniaxial tension, and shear conditions involve in the situations. Furthermore, the simulation result unveils that the difference is nuance concerning the two method based on the uniaxial tension case, while the large deformation and the small deformation results have huge difference based on shear deformation case. This research gives the way to the further research about the constitutive model of SMA, especially in the multitiaxial non-proportional loading aspects.

Different approaches have been proposed in order to determine the material behavior of ductile materials. Since, the mechanical properties of a mechanical component are modified during manufacturing process due to plastic deformation, heat treatment and etc, a non-destructive indentation experimental procedure addressed to predict the elastic-plastic properties of material after manufacturing process is of interest. This is especially true for small size components where it is complex to extract specimens to test on standard test system. Based on dimensionless analysis and the concept of a representative strain, different approaches have been proposed to determine the material properties of power law materials by using indentation process. In this work, the Johnson-Cook (JC) constitutive model of the aluminum alloy Al6061-T6 is characterized by means of a well-defined optimization procedure based on micro-indentation testing and high fidelity finite element models and an optimization procedure but without the concept of dimensionless analysis and a representative strain. This methodology allows determining a set of JC constants for Al6061-T6. The obtained results have good agreement with parameters calibrated by means of universal standard tests and reverse engineering approach.
