A service-aged P91 steel was used to perform an experimental programme of cyclic mechanical testing in the temperature range of 400°C to 600°C, under isothermal conditions, using both saw-tooth and dwell (inclusion of a constant strain dwell period at the maximum (tensile) strain within the cycle) waveforms. The results of this testing were used to identify the material constants for a modified Chaboche, unified visco-plasticity model, which can deal with rate-dependant cyclic effects, such as combined isotropic and kinematic hardening, and time-dependent effects, such as creep, associated with visco-plasticity. The model has been modified in order that the two-stage (non-linear primary and linear secondary) softening which occurs within the cyclic response of the service-aged P91 material is accounted for and accurately predicted. The characterisation of the cyclic visco-plasticity behaviour of the service-aged P91 material at 500°C is presented and compared to experimental stress-strain loops, cyclic softening and creep relaxation, obtained from the cyclic isothermal tests.

A series of experiments subjected to uniaxial and non-proportionally multiaxial cyclic loadings were performed to investigate the ratcheting responses of SA508 Gr.3 steel at room and elevated temperatures. The influences of different stress levels and nonproportional loading paths on the damage-coupled ratcheting responses were discussed. From experimental results, cyclic softening characteristic and dynamic strain aging can be observed under cyclic loadings. Moreover, the steel exhibits an obvious nonproportional path-dependence of the damage evolution under multiaxial loading paths. To numerically simulate the ratcheting responses under uniaxial and multiaxial loadings with the extended cyclic plastic model, the damage-coupled variable was introduced into the classic isotropic and nonlinear kinematic hardening rules. Corresponding material parameters could be calibrated from experimental data, and comparisons between experimental and simulated results were performed to validate the proposed model.

Cyclic Plasticity Model

In order to simulate mechanical fatigue phenomena under macroscopically elastic condition, the plastic stretching within a yield surface has to be described, whilst the plastic strain is induced remarkably as the stress approaches the dominant yielding state. In this study, a phenomenological plasticity model, proposed for the description of the cyclic loading behavior observed for typical carbon steels during the high-cycle fatigue subjected to stresses lower than the yield stress, is applied for the prediction of fatigue initiation life. The model is formulated based on the unconventional plasticity model and is applied for materials obeying isotropic and kinematic hardening law. The mechanical responses under cyclic loading conditions are examined briefly. Finally, the initiation life of fatigue cracking is discussed based on the proposed model with the damage counting parameter.

Maximum Tensile Strain

Stretchable and wearable opto-electronics have attracted worldwide attention due to their broad prospects in health monitoring and epidermal applications. Resistive strain sensors, as one of the most typical and important device, have been the subject of great improvements in sensitivity and stretchability. Nevertheless, it is hard to take both sensitivity and stretchability into consideration for practical applications. Herein, we demonstrated a simple strategy to construct a highly sensitive and stretchable graphene-based strain sensor. According to the strain distribution in the simulation result, highly sensitive planar graphene and highly stretchable crumpled graphene (CG) were rationally connected to effectively modulate the sensitivity and stretchability of the device. For the stretching mode, the device showed a gauge factor (GF) of 20.1 with 105% tensile strain. The sensitivity of the device was relatively high in this large working range, and the device could endure a maximum tensile strain of 135% with a GF of 337.8. In addition, in the bending mode, the device could work in outward and inward modes. This work introduced a novel and simple method with which to effectively monitor sensitivity and stretchability at the same time. More importantly, the method could be applied to other material categories to further improve the performance.

This article deals with the multiphasic, anisothermal behaviour of 16MND5 steel under complex loading. We are focusing more specifically on the modelization of transformation plasticity induced by proportional or nonproportional biaxial loading during the bainitic transformation. A first part recalls Leblond's transformation plasticity model with or without hardening. We also describe the experimental setup used to get transformation plasticity tests under tension-torsion loadings. The last part deals with the TrIP models (with or without hardening) identification and their use for the nonproportional tests simulation.

By using of Kuhn`s yield criterion, plasticity constitutive equations of extruded oilseeds in a closed cylinderical cell were developed. The model parameters were identified from experimental stress—strain using an inverse method. The maximum relative deviations between the measured and the simulated value of soybean and cottonseed are 8.5% and 5.1% respectively, and the average relative deviations are 4.9% and 3.8% respectively. The results of numerical simulation for confined pressing of granular soybeans and cottonseeds in the closed cylinderical cell indicated the following facts that granular soybeans and cottonseeds conform to the model of three power curve, the plasticity constitutive equations can describe the plastic deformation for extruded soybean and cottonseed, and Kuhn`s yield criterion can be used as theoretical basis for plasticity model of granular soybeans and cottonseeds.
