Plasticity induced heating – an underestimated effect in monotonic and cyclic deformation?

Cyclic Heating Effect on Hardness of Copper

Superplastic deformation induced by cyclic hydrogen charging

Deformation under the combined action of external stress and cyclic hydrogen charging/discharging is studied in a model material, titanium. Cyclic charging with hydrogen is carried out at 860 °C, which repeatedly triggers the transformation between hydrogen-lean -Ti and hydrogen-rich -Ti. Due to bias from the externally applied tensile stress, the internal mismatch strains produced by this isot...

A Strain Range Dependent Cyclic Plasticity Model

Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...

Calibration of Hardening Rules for Cyclic Plasticity

In the realm of multi-axial ratcheting, a step by step mathematical approach is developed for the parameter determination of decomposed kinematic hardening rules. For this purpose, key characteristics are mathematically derived for these hardening rules under multi-axial loading. These characteristics are then utilized to develop expressions which relate the loading history to the accumulated p...

Cyclic and Monotonic Behavior of Strengthened and Unstrengthened Square Reinforced Concrete Columns

The use of composite materials is an effective technique to enhance the capacity of reinforced concrete columns subjected to the seismic loading due to their high tensile strength. In this paper, numerical models are developed in order to predict the experimental behavior of square reinforced concrete columns strengthened by glass fiber reinforced polymer and steel bars and unstrengthened colum...
