Experiments have been carried out on thin tubular specimens of alpha brass subjected to various combinations of torque and transverse tension, after initial overstrain in torsion. The loading paths were based upon a yield function expressing one degree of anisotropy which had been found previously to give good correlation of initial radial loading paths. The primary definition of yield used was the “Taylor-Quinney, Lode”; however, “Limit of Proportionality” and “Initial Loading Slope Tangent” definitions have also been investigated. The derived yield surface (Taylor-Quinney) shows strong positive cross effect, rotation, and a Bauschinger effect extending over the whole reversed quadrant to initial loading. No indication of the formation of a corner on the yield surface was found.

Further tests have been carried out on thin closed-ended tubes of alpha brass subjected to various combinations of torque and internal pressure. The effect of loading, unloading, and reloading along different paths has been investigated. The loading paths were based on a yield function which has previously been found to correlate initial radial loadings for this material, which possesses one degree of anisotropy. However, the results obtained from the second loadings suggest a cross effect which is greater than would be obtained from a nested set of yield surfaces of the foregoing form. There appears to be no evidence to support the presence of a corner in the yield surface.

In order to study the applicability of the proposed hybrid constitutive model for cyclic plasticity to nonproportional loading, type 304 stainless-steel specimens subjected to sinusoidal loading that could change the degree of nonproportionality of the strain path were examined in detail. The subsequent yield surface during the loading was discussed in advance because the plastic deformation induced anisotropy coefficient tensor in the yield function had to be determined from the yield surface obtained by the experiment. From the experimental results, the subsequent yield surfaces during the loading could be assumed to be of the quadratic form of stress. The simulations based on the model gave a good description of the sinusoidal loading, irrespective of the degree of nonproportionality of the strain path.

This study aims at introducing the back stress of anisotropic strain-hardening into the crystal plasticity theory and demonstrating the rationality of this crystal plasticity model to describe the evolution of the subsequent yield surface of polycrystalline aluminum at the mesoscopic scale under complex pre-cyclic loading paths. By using two different scale finite element models, namely a global finite element model (GFEM) as the same size of the thin-walled tube specimen used in the experiments and a 3D cubic polycrystalline aggregate representative volume element (RVE) model, the evolution of the subsequent yield surface for different unloading cases after 30 pre-cycles is further performed by experiments and numerical simulations within a crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) frame. Results show that the size and shape of the subsequent yield surfaces are extremely sensitive to the chosen offset strain and the pre-cyclic loading direction, which present pronounced anisotropic hardening through a translation and a distortion of the yield surface characterized by the obvious “sharp corner” in the pre-deformation direction and “flat” in the reverse direction by the definition of small offset strain, while the subsequent yield surface exhibits isotropic hardening reflected by the von Mises circle to be distorted into an ellipse by the definition of large offset strain. In addition, the heterogeneous properties of equivalent plastic strain increment are further discussed under different offset strain conditions. Modeling results from this study show that the heterogeneity of plastic deformation decreases as a law of fraction exponential function with the increasing offset strain. The above analysis indicates that anisotropic hardening of the yield surface is correlated with heterogeneous deformation caused by crystal microstructure and crystal slip. The crystal plasticity model based on the above microscopic mechanism can accurately capture the directional hardening features of the yield surface.

Crash simulations were performed for automotive sheets. To understand the influence of crystal structures in sheet materials on crashworthiness, the effect of the yield function shape was studied by adopting the recently developed non-quadratic anisotropic yield surface, Yld2004-18p. The effect of the back-stress was also investigated by comparing simulation results obtained for the isotropic, kinematic and combined isotropic-kinematic hardening laws based on the modified Chaboche model. In addition, the effects of anisotropy and sheet thickness on crashworthiness were evaluated.

An approximate yield criterion for porous ductile media at high strain rate is developed adopting energy principles. A new concept that the macroscopic stresses are composed of two parts, representing dynamic and quasi-static components, is proposed. It is found that the dynamic part of the macroscopic stresses controls the movement of the dynamic yield surface in stress space, while the quasi-static part determines the shape of the dynamic yield surface. The matrix material is idealized as rigid-perfectly plastic and obeying the von Mises yield. An approximate velocity field for the matrix is employed to derive the dynamic yield function. Numerical results show that the dynamic yield function is dependent not only on the rate of deformation but also on the distribution of initial micro-damage, which are different from that of the quasi-static condition. It is indicated that inertial effects play a very important role in the dynamic behavior of the yield function. However, it is also shown that when the rate of deformation is low (≤103/sec), inertial effects become vanishingly small, and the dynamic yield function in this case reduces to the Gurson model.

In this paper, a generalized anisotropic hardening rule based on the Mroz multi-yield-surface model is derived. The evolution equation for the active yield surface is obtained by considering the continuous expansion of the active yield surface during the unloading/reloading process. The incremental constitutive relation based on the associated flow rule is then derived for a general yield function. As a special case, detailed incremental constitutive relations are derived for the Mises yield function. The closed-form solutions for one-dimensional stress-plastic strain curves are also derived and plotted for the Mises materials under cyclic loading conditions. The stress-plastic strain curves show closed hysteresis loops under uniaxial cyclic loading conditions and the Masing hypothesis is applicable. A user material subroutine based on the Mises yield function, the anisotropic hardening rule and the constitutive relations was then written and implemented into ABAQUS. Computations were conducted for a simple plane strain finite element model under uniaxial monotonic and cyclic loading conditions based on the anisotropic hardening rule and the isotropic and nonlinear kinematic hardening rules of ABAQUS. The results indicate that the plastic response of the material follows the intended input stress-strain data for the anisotropic hardening rule whereas the plastic response depends upon the input strain ranges of the stress-strain data for the nonlinear kinematic hardening rule.
