In this paper, a method is presented for obtaining the transient thermal-stress distribution and the residual stresses in a spherical body where the time-dependent temperature distribution is symmetrical with respect to the center of the sphere. The material is assumed to be elastoplastic, while in the plastic range it work-hardens isotropically. The von Mises yield condition is used. The thermal and mechanical properties of the material are assumed to be temperature independent. The problem is reduced to a single nonlinear differential equation which is solved numerically on the NCR 304 digital computer. Several sets of numerical data representing various degrees of work-hardening in the spherical bodies during a cooling process are presented.

Abstract For problems involving work-hardening plastic materials, the incremental stress-strain law is considered to be a more rational approach than the conventional total stress-strain law. Up to the present the incremental stress-strain law was not subject to widespread use because it is mathematically inconvenient to handle. In this paper a method is developed in which the incremental law is applied to a work-hardening material in plane stress corresponding to the yield condition of von Mises. The method is illustrated by an analysis of the plastic bending of a simply supported work-hardening circular plate under uniformly distributed transverse load. The resulting difference-differential equations are solved by the NCR 304 digital computer.

Plastic wave speeds in materials whose elastic response is linear and isotropic while the plastic flow is incompressible and isotropically work-hardening are obtained. One of the three plastic wave speeds is identical to the elastic shear wave speed regardless of the form of the yield condition. The other two plastic wave speeds, cf and cs, are determined for materials obeying the von Mises yield condition. The dependence of cf and cs on the stress state and the direction of propagation is investigated in detail. The largest and smallest cf and cs, and the directions along which they occur are also presented. For materials obeying the Tresca’s yield condition, it is shown that one can obtain the corresponding results by simply specializing the results for the von Mises materials. Unlike in one-dimensional analyses where the plastic wave speed becomes zero for perfectly plastic solids, the three-dimensional analyses show that the ratio of cf to c1, where c1 is the elastic dilatation wave speed, is always larger than 3/7 for the von Mises materials and 1/2 for the Tresca’s materials. For most materials under moderate loadings, this ratio is much higher.

Equations are given for the stress rates in solid cylinders subject to transient temperature distributions, based on the assumption of an elastic, perfectly plastic material obeying a von Mises temperature-dependent yield condition. A numerical procedure for integrating the equations is developed and applied to a temperature distribution approximating a phase transformation and to a quenched cylinder. The effect of various factors on the residual stresses is noted.

Particulate thermal interface materials (TIMs) are commonly used to transport heat from chip to heat sink. While high thermal conductance is achieved by large volume loadings of highly conducting particles in a compliant matrix, small volume loadings of stiff particles will ensure reduced thermal stresses in the brittle silicon device. Developing numerical models to estimate effective thermal and mechanical properties of TIM systems would help optimize TIM performance with respect to these conflicting requirements. Classical models, often based on single particle solutions or regular arrangement of particles, are insufficient as real-life TIM systems contain a distriubtion of particles at high volume fractions, where classical models are invalid. In our earlier work, a computationally efficient random network model was developed to estimate the effective thermal conductivity of TIM systems [1,2]. This model is extended in this paper to estimate the effective elastic modulus of TIMs. Realistic microstructures are simulated and analyzed using the proposed method. Factors affecting the modulus (volume fraction and particle size distribution) are also studied.

An incremental plasticity model is proposed based on the von-Mises yield condition, associated flow rule, and nonlinear kinematic hardening rule. In the present model, fatigue life prediction requires only the uniaxial cycle stress-strain curve and the uniaxial fatigue test results on smooth specimens. Experimental data of 304 stainless steel and 1045 carbon steel were used to validate this analytical model. It is shown that a reasonable description of steady-state hysteresis stress-strain loops and prediction of fatigue lives under various combined axial-torsional loadings are given by this model
