A new variant of the nonlinear kinematic hardening model is proposed which accommodates both nonlinear and linear strain hardening during initial tensile loading and reduced elastic modulus during initial load reversal. It also incorporates the Bauschinger effect, as a function of prior tensile plastic strain, during the nonlinear compressive loading phase. The model is shown to fit experimental data from a total of five candidate gun steels. The numerical fits will be employed in subsequent work to predict residual stresses and fatigue lifetimes for autofrettaged tubes manufactured from the candidate steels.

The UOE process is an effective approach for manufacturing the line pipes used in oil and gas transportation. During the UOE process, a steel plate is crimped along its edges, pressed into a circular pipe with an open-seam by the successively U-O forming stages. Subsequently, the open-seam is closed and welded. Finally, the welded pipe is expanded to obtain a perfectly round shape. In particular, during the O-forming stage the plate is suffered from distinct strain reversal which leads to the Bauschinger effect, i.e., a reduced yield stress at the start of reverse loading following forward strain. In the finite element simulation of plate forming, the material hardening model plays an important role in the springback prediction. In this study, the mechanical properties of API X90 grade steel are obtained by a tension-compression test. Three popular hardening models (isotropic hardening, kinematic hardening and combined hardening) are employed to simulate the CUO forming process. A deep analysis on the deformation and springback behaviors of the plate in each forming stage is implemented. The formed configurations from C-forming to U-forming are almost identical with three hardening models due to the similar forward hardening behaviors. Since the isotropic hardening model cannot represent the Bauschinger effect, it evaluates the higher reverse stress and springback in the O-forming stage which leads to a failure prediction of a zero open-seam pipe. On the contrary, the kinematic hardening model overestimates the Bauschinger effect so that predicts the larger open-seam value. Specifically, the simulation results using the combined hardening model show good agreement in geometric configurations with the practical measurements.

A plasticity theory is presented using the usual concept of a loading surface which moves and isotropically grows, but in addition uses a “limit surface” which grows and moves independently and encloses the loading surface. The plastic stiffness is a function of the distance between the surfaces at the loading point. Characteristics of the theory are a smoother transition between elastic and plastic regions on loading, an inherent Bauschinger effect, and more latitude on the description of hardening characteristics than the traditional methods used in structural codes. The full capability of the theory requires a memory of three vectors and three scalars, while some of the foregoing characteristics can be retained with only two vectors, the same as a traditional kinematic hardening model. The multiaxial theory is presented, particularized, specialized to uniaxial stress and the equations solved. The theory is compared to uniaxial stress experimental results.

Springback after U-bending of Cu-Ni-Si alloy sheet and cold-rolled brass sheets (JIS C2600R-H and C2600R-1/4H) was calculated by using FEM. In the simulations, the Yoshida-Uemori kinematic hardening model was employed, by which stress-strain responses under uniaxial tension and cyclic tension-compression loadings are accurately described. The simulation results using Yoshida-Uemori model well predicted the experimentally obtained springback, while the isotropic hardening model underestimated it for every material. From such comparisons between experiment and simulation, it is concluded that the Bauschinger effect as well as the plastic strain dependency on Youngs modulus should be taken into account for an accurate springback simulation.

Kinematic hardening rules are employed in classical plasticity to capture the so–called Bauschinger effect. They are important when describing the material response during reloading. In the framework of thermodynamically consistent gradient plasticity theories, kinematic hardening effects were first incorporated into a micropolar plasticity model by Grammenoudis and Tsakmakis. The aim of the present paper is to investigate this model by predicting size effects in torsional loading of circular cylinders. It is shown that kinematic hardening rules compared with isotropic hardening rules, as adopted in the paper, provide more possibilities for modelling size effects in the material response, even if only monotonous loading conditions are considered.
