This study evaluates the plastic responses of thick cylinders made of transversely isotropic materials under mechanical cyclic loads, using the kinematic hardening theory of plasticity. The Hill yield criterion is adapted to the kinematic hardening theory of plasticity. The constitutive equations of plastic strains are obtained using the adapted yield criterion. The flow rule based on the kinematic hardening theory of plasticity associated with the Hill yield criterion is represented to evaluate the cyclic behavior of transversely isotropic cylindrical vessels. A numerical method is proposed to calculate the stresses and plastic strains in this structure due to the cycling of pressure at its inside surface. The numerical solution is validated simplifying the results with those of isotropic materials. Using the proposed method, the effect of anisotropy on ratcheting and shakedown response of the vessel is evaluated. It has been shown that the ratcheting or shakedown response of the vessel and the rate of ratcheting are highly affected by the anisotropy ratio. The numerical results of this paper show that the yield strength ratio, which is affected by initial work hardening of the metal, may control the ratcheting behavior of the cylindrical vessels.

Using Tresca's yield criterion and its associated flow rule, solutions are obtained for the stresses and strains when a thick-walled tube is subject to internal pressure and subsequent unloading. A bilinear hardening material model in which allowances are made for a Bauschinger effect is adopted. A variable elastic range and different rates under forward and reversed deformation are assumed. Prager's translation law is obtained as a particular case. The solutions are practically analytic. However, a numerical technique is necessary to solve transcendental equations. Conditions are expressed for which the release is purely elastic and elastic–plastic. The importance of verifying conditions under which the Tresca theory is valid is emphasized. Possible numerical difficulties with solving equations that express these conditions are highlighted. The effect of kinematic hardening law on the validity of the solutions found is demonstrated.

Abstract A new plastic–damage constitutive model based on the combination of damage mechanics and classical plastic theory was developed to simulate the failure of concrete. In order to explain different material behaviors of concrete under tensile and compressive loadings, the plastic yield criterion, the different kinematic hardening rule for tension and compressive and the isotropic flow rule were established in the effective stress space. Meanwhile, two different empirical damage evolution equations were adopted: one for compression and the other for tension. A multi-axial damage influence factor was also introduced to fully describe the anisotropic damage of concrete. Finally, the model response was compared with a wide range of experiment results. The results showed that the model could well describe the nonlinear behavior of concrete in a complex stress state.

The NST 37-2 steel represents about 75% volume of Nigerian-produced steel which is yet to be fully characterized for its fatigue behavior. Thus, its suitability for many applications is questionable. This paper presents a framework based on the theory of elasto-plasticity in order to make appropriate recommendations in this regard. Experimentally, tensile tests were carried out on test specimens to establish the baseline material properties of the steel in annealed, as-rolled, normalized and hardened/tempered conditions. Fatigue tests were then conducted at 60% Su; 70% Su and 80% Su of the test material and fractographic examinations on the test specimens were subsequently carried out. The frequency harmonic fatigue analysis was implemented in the ANSYS software environment for the numerical study. The elastic-plastic material property was described by the von Mises yield criterion, the flow rule of Prandtl-Reuss, and the kinematic hardening rule of Prager. The numerical results indicate with respect to rate-dependence fatigue behavior that the annealed test specimen is most resilient under cyclic deformation as compared with the normalized, hardened/tempered and as-rolled specimens respectively. The experimental and numerical results were found to be in close agreement and based on the general performance, the steel material is recommended for use in low cycle, quasi-static fatigue applications.

Influence of creep on cyclic loading behaviour of thick cylindrical vessels is studied in this paper. The cyclic loading response of cylindrical vessels under load and deformation controlled cyclic loading is compared for the cases where creep is included and excluded. Kinematic hardening theory of plasticity based on the multi-linear Prager and Armstrong–Frederick models is assumed to evaluate the multi-axial non-linear strains in the plastic region. An iterative incremental method is proposed to solve the governing equations due to the non-linearity and load history dependency of the problem. Based on the obtained results an interaction diagram is proposed to predict ratcheting or shakedown behaviour of the thick cylindrical vessels.

Abstract An inverse analysis based on optimization process is performed to determine die curvatures for a locking nut’s flange folding process which has highly nonlinear material behaviour. The nut material is AISI C1040 steel. The ring material is polyamide 6. The Chaboche’s nonlinear kinematic hardening rule is combined with bilinear isotropic hardening model as a hardening rule for the plasticity model combined with associated flow rule and von Mises yield criterion. The inverse analysis is applied to determine the curvatures by using genetic algorithm optimization method based on dimensional accuracy. The optimum mould curvatures are determined. So a comprehensive methodology is presented for determination of curvatures.

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
