Cyclic Plasticity Model

The present study tries to present a cyclic hardening model with the aim to simulate quantitatively the material response under strain controlled cyclic loading in tension-compression, of specified axial deformation. A numerical study was carried out to investigate the cyclic constitutive behaviour of alloy Indium under viscoplastic deformation. The analysis was performed under prescribed symmetric strain-controlled cyclic loading. The model contains both isotropic and kinematic hardening components, while the analysis were performed using Comsol Multiphysics for only 60 seconds duration. The kinematic hardening was described by using multiple back stresses. Multiple back stresses can provide a smoother transition between the elastic and plastic deformation, and it improves the general shape of the hysteresis loop. Two cases (geometries) have been examined in this study. From the material model and finite element cyclic plasticity model results, it is found that for the same parameters, but different dimensions there is difference on the stress-strain curves as well as on the von Mises stresses.

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.

A buried offshore pipeline is essentially axially constrained by the soil cover. Heating by the passage of hot oil at high pressure can plastically deform it. The deformation involves expansion of the diameter, which for thinner pipes can be accompanied by axisymmetric wrinkling. During a lifetime of 20 or more years, lines experience regular startup and shutdown cycles. This study examines how this cycling affects wrinkling and the hoop expansion of such lines. A set of experiments on super-duplex tubes with D/t of 28.5 was conducted using the following idealized cyclic loading history. A tube is first pressurized and then compressed into the plastic range to a level that initiates wrinkling. It is then cycled under stress control about a compressive mean stress while the pressure is kept constant. The combined loads cause simultaneous ratcheting in the hoop and axial directions as well as a gradual growth of the wrinkles. At some stage the amplitude of the wrinkles starts to grow exponentially with the number of cycles N leading to localization and collapse. The rate of ratcheting and the number of cycles to failure depend on the initial compressive pre-strain, the internal pressure and the stress cycle parameters. The problem is modeled as a shell with initial axisymmetric imperfections. A challenge in the simulations is that the cyclic plasticity model that is used must be capable of capturing correctly the type of biaxial material ratcheting that develops. The Dafalias-Popov two-surface nonlinear kinematic hardening model, enhanced and suitably calibrated is shown to capture the prevalent ratcheting deformations correctly leading to predictions that are in good agreement with the experimental results. The model is then used to evaluate the ratcheting behavior of pipes under thermal-pressure cyclic loading histories seen by buried pipelines.

Cyclic Plasticity Model

The plasticity models in finite element codes are often not able to describe the cyclic plasticity phenomena satisfactorily. Developing a user-defined material model is a demanding process, challenging especially for industry. Open-source Code_Aster is a rapidly expanding and evolving software, capable of overcoming the above-mentioned problem with material model implementation. In this article, Chaboche-type material model with kinematic hardening evolution rules and non-proportional as well as strain memory effects was studied through the calibration of the aluminium alloy 2024-T351. The sensitivity analysis was performed prior to the model calibration to find out whether all the material model parameters were important. The utilization of built-in routines allows the calibration of material constants without the necessity to write the optimization scripts, which is time consuming. Obtaining the parameters using the built-in routines is therefore easier and allows using the advanced modelling for practical use. Three sets of material model parameters were obtained using the built-in routines and results were compared to experiments. Quality of the calibration was highlighted and drawbacks were described. Usage of material model implemented in Code_Aster provided good simulations in a relatively simple way through the use of an advanced cyclic plasticity model via built-in auxiliary functions.

Hardening Rules

Experiments that demonstrate the basic quantitative and qualitative aspects of the cyclic plasticity of metals are presented in Part 1. Three incremental plasticity kinematic hardening models of prominence are based on the Prager, Ziegler, and Mroz hardening rules, of which the former two have been more frequently used than the latter. For a specimen previously fully stabilized by out of phase cyclic loading the results of a subsequent cyclic nonproportional strain path experiment are compared to the predictions of the above models. A formulation employing a Tresca yield surface translating inside a Tresca limit surface according to the Mroz hardening rule gives excellent predictions and also demonstrates the erasure of memory material property.

Deviatoric Stresses

A time efficient method for predicting ratchetting strain is proposed. By finding the ratchetting rate, at only a few cycles, the ratchetting strain of any cycle can be determined. It is shown that a trajectory of the origin of stress may be defined in the deviatoric stress space as the ratchetting progresses. The method for obtaining this trajectory from a standard uniaxial asymmetric cyclic loading is presented. At the beginning, this trajectory coincides with the initial stress origin and approaches the mean stress, displaying a power law relationship with the number of loading cycles. This path defines a moving frame of reference for stress tensor calculations. Ratchetting rates for different cyclic loading are calculated with the knowledge of this frame of reference and through utilizing a constitutive cyclic plasticity model which incorporates deviatoric stresses and back stresses that are measured with respect to this moving frame. The proposed model is used to predict ratchetting strain of 1070 steel under single step constant amplitude and multi-step loading. The method is also applied to non-proportional loading. Results obtained agree with the available experimental measurements.

Cyclic Plasticity Model

In this paper, a cyclic-plasticity-based fully mechanistic fatigue modeling approach is presented. This is based on time-dependent stress–strain evolution of the material over the entire fatigue life rather than just based on the end of live information typically used for empirical S∼N curve-based fatigue evaluation approaches. Previously, we presented constant amplitude fatigue test based related material models for 316 stainless steel (SS) base, 508 low alloy steel base, and 316 SS-316 SS weld which are used in nuclear reactor components such as pressure vessels, nozzles, and surge line pipes. However, we found that constant amplitude fatigue data-based models have limitation in capturing the stress–strain evolution under arbitrary fatigue loading. To address the aforementioned limitation, in this paper, we present a more advanced approach that can be used for modeling the cyclic stress–strain evolution and fatigue life not only under constant amplitude but also under any arbitrary (random/variable) fatigue loading. The related material model and analytical model results are presented for 316 SS base metal. Two methodologies (either based on time/cycle or based on accumulated plastic strain energy (APSE)) to track the material parameters at a given time/cycle are discussed and associated analytical model results are presented. From the material model and analytical cyclic plasticity model results, it is found that the proposed cyclic plasticity model can predict all the important stages of material behavior during the entire fatigue life of the specimens with more than 90% accuracy.

Critical Components

Simulation plays a critical role in the development and evaluation of critical components that are regularly subjected to mechanical loads at elevated temperatures. The cost, applicability, and accuracy of either numerical or analytical simulations are largely dependent on the material model chosen for the application. A noninteraction (NI) model derived from individual elastic, plastic, and creep components is developed in this study. The candidate material under examination for this application is 2.25Cr–1Mo, a low-alloy ferritic steel commonly used in chemical processing, nuclear reactors, pressure vessels, and power generation. Data acquired from prior research over a range of temperatures up to 650 °C are used to calibrate the creep and plastic components described using constitutive models generally native to general-purpose fea. Traditional methods invoked to generate constitutive modeling coefficients employ numerical fittings of hysteresis data, which result in values that are neither repeatable nor display reasonable temperature dependence. By extrapolating simplifications commonly used for reduced-order model approximations, an extension utilizing only the cyclic Ramberg–Osgood (RO) coefficients has been developed. This method is used to identify the nonlinear kinematic hardening (NLKH) constants needed at each temperature. Single-element simulations are conducted to verify the accuracy of the approach. Results are compared with isothermal and nonisothermal literature data.

Cyclic Straining

Abstract Hydrogen-accelerated fatigue crack growth is a most severe manifestation of hydrogen embrittlement. A mechanistic and predictive model is still lacking partly due to the lack of a descriptive constitutive model of the hydrogen/material interaction at the macroscale under cyclic loading. Such a model could be used to assess the nature of the stress and strain fields in the neighborhood of a crack, a development that could potentially lead to the association of these fields with proper macroscopic parameters. Toward this goal, a constitutive model for cyclic response should be capable of capturing hardening or softening under cyclic straining or ratcheting under stress-controlled testing. In this work, we attempt a constitutive description by using data from uniaxial strain-controlled cyclic loading and stress-controlled ratcheting tests with a low carbon steel, Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) SM490YB, conducted in air and 1 MPa H2 gas environment at room temperature. We explore the Chaboche constitutive model which is a nonlinear kinematic hardening model that was developed as an extension to the Frederick and Armstrong model, and propose an approach to calibrate the parameters involved. From the combined experimental data and the calibrated Chaboche model, we may conclude that hydrogen decreases the yield stress and the amount of cyclic hardening. On the other hand, hydrogen increases ratcheting, the rate of cyclic hardening, and promotes stronger recovery.

A phenomenological model is proposed for cyclic plasticity based on the concept of distributed elements, which is capable of reflecting microstructural behavior of real materials under multiaxial cyclic loading conditions. By investigating the detailed behavior of the model, various important phenomena and effects of materials in cyclic plasticity can be elucidated. Generalization of the model is also done to include cyclic hardening effects. A thorough understanding of these complicated response mechanisms and material properties provides useful insight and guidelines for validating analytical models and for performing experimental studies in the related areas of cyclic plasticity.
