Abstract
Tests show that the incremental step test cyclic stress-strain curve depends on the maximum input strain amplitude. The extent of laboratory work may be reduced if one has established a general numerical material model, as such a model may be used to determine cyclic stress-strain curves on the computer. In the present investigation a general transient cyclic plasticity model for simulation of metal behaviour is applied in order to obtain numerically the incremental step test curve for a normalised structural steel and an aluminum alloy subjected to different maximum strain levels. The simulated results are compared with corresponding test data.
