Abstract Stress-strain relations are given for an initially isotropic material, which is macroscopically homogeneous, but inhomogeneous on a microscopic scale. An element of volume is considered to be composed of various portions, which can be represented by subelements showing secondary creep and isotropic work-hardening in plastic deformation. If the condition is imposed that all subelements of an element of volume are subjected to the same total strain, it is demonstrated that the inelastic stress-strain relations of the material show anisotropic strain-hardening, creep recovery, and primary and secondary creep due to the nonuniform energy dissipation in deformation of the sub-elements. Only quasi-static deformations under isothermal conditions are considered. The theory is restricted to small total strains.

Abstract The authors assess a plastic stress-strain law of anisotropic strain-hardening type which they previously developed on the basis of explicit consideration of the polycrystalline nature of metals and the mechanism of plastic deformation. The assumptions made are reviewed, together with the successes and limitations of the theory. The authors indicate the lines along which they feel that improvement of the theory is to be sought.

Fe-based alloys were deposited on 1045 steel by plasma cladding technique and the specimens were annealed at different temperatures. Instrumented indentation technique was adopted to investigate the plastic properties of the coatings, especially the stress-strain relations, critical yield stress and the strain hardening exponent. The results show that the elastic recovery in nanoindentation is less than 20% for all coatings and proves an obvious existence of plastic deformation in the coatings. It is found in the stress-strain curves that the annealing process makes the distribution of elastic modulus among the whole coating more uniformly. With the penetration depth increasing, the initial plastic deformation value gradually decreased which is more obvious for coatings annealing at high temperatures. In addition, the strain hardening exponent of the as-cladding coating and coatings annealed at 500°C keeps steady around 0.15 while the corresponding values of coatings annealed at 600°C and 700°C increased sharply with the penetration depth increasing and the maximum value is up to 0.32.

Mechanical dents often occur in transmission pipelines, and are recognized as one of major threats to pipeline integrity because of the potential fatigue failure due to cyclic pressures. With matured in-line-inspection (ILI) technology, mechanical dents can be identified from the ILI runs. Based on ILI measured dent profiles, finite element analysis (FEA) is commonly used to simulate stresses and strains in a dent, and to predict fatigue life of the dented pipeline. However, the dent profile defined by ILI data is a purely geometric shape without residual stresses nor plastic deformation history, and is different from its actual dent that contains residual stresses/strains due to dent creation and re-rounding. As a result, the FEA results of an ILI dent may not represent those of the actual dent, and may lead to inaccurate or incorrect results. To investigate the effect of residual stress or plastic deformation history on mechanics responses and fatigue life of an actual dent, three dent models are considered in this paper: (a) a true dent with residual stresses and dent formation history, (b) a purely geometric dent having the true dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it, and (c) a purely geometric dent having an ILI defined dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it. Using a three-dimensional FEA model, those three dents are simulated in the elastic-plastic conditions. The FEA results showed that the two geometric dents determine significantly different stresses and strains in comparison to those in the true dent, and overpredict the fatigue life or burst pressure of the true dent. On this basis, suggestions are made on how to use the ILI data to predict the dent fatigue life.

Abstract A differential stress-strain relation is derived for a medium composed of a face-centered cubic array of elastic spheres in contact. The stress-strain relation is based on the theory of elastic bodies in contact, and includes the effects of both normal and tangential components of contact forces. A description is given of an experiment performed as a test of the contact theories and the differential stress-strain relation derived from them. The experiment consists of a determination of wave velocities and the accompanying rates of energy dissipation in granular bars composed of face-centered cubic arrays of spheres. Experimental results indicate a close agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of wave velocity. However, as in previous experiments with single contacts, the rate of energy dissipation is found to be proportional to the square of the maximum tangential contact force rather than to the cube, as predicted by the theory for small amplitudes.

In some metals it has been shown that the introduction of plastic deformation or strain modifies the thermoelastic constant, K. If it was possible to define the magnitude of the change in thermoelastic constant over a range of plastic strain, then the plastic strain that a material has experienced could be established based on a measured change in the thermoelastic constant. This variation of the thermoelastic constant and the ability to estimate the plastic strain that has been experienced, has potential to form the basis of a novel non-destructive, non-contact, full-field technique for residual stress assessment using thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA). Recent research has suggested that the change in thermoelastic constant is related to the material dislocation that occurs during strain hardening, and thus the change in K for a material that does not strain harden would be significantly less than for a material that does. In the work described in this paper, the change in thermoelastic constant for three materials (316L stainless steel, AA2024 and AA7085) with different strain hardening characteristics is investigated. As the change in thermoelastic response due to plastic strain is small, and metallic specimens require a paint coating for TSA, the effects of the paint coating and other test factors on the thermoelastic response have been considered.

In this work, Al-Mg-Mn-Si alloy (5483) in the as-received and severe plastically deformed states was used. Plastic deformation was carried out by hydrostatic extrusion, and three different true strain values were applied 1.4, 2.8 and 3.8. All specimens were subjected to tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The investigated material revealed an instability during plastic deformation in the form of serration on the stress-strain curves, the so called Portevin-Le Chatelier effect It was shown that grain size reduction effected the character of the instability.
