Abstract

Kinematic hardening rules formulated in a hardening/dynamic recovery format are examined for simulating rachetting behavior. These rules, characterized by decomposition of the kinematic hardening variable into components, are based on the assumption that each component has a critical state for its dynamic recovery to be activated fully. Discussing their basic features, the authors show that they can predict much less accumulation of uniaxial and multiaxial ratchetting strains than the Armstrong and Frederick rule. Comparisons with multilayer and multisurface models are made also, resulting in a finding that the simple one in the present rules is similar to the multilayer model with total strain rate replaced by inelastic (or plastic) strain rate. Part II of this work deals with applications to experiments.

Characterization and application of maximum entropy fatigue damage model based on digital image correlation and inverse analysis
2024, International Journal of Fatigue
In this study, a progress damage model that integrates the Maximum Entropy Fracture Model (MEFM) with the A-F kinematic hardening model is proposed to characterize the low-cycle fatigue damage behavior of metals. The MEFM establishes a correlation between the damage value and cumulative dissipation at the integration point through a damage accumulation parameter. Concurrently, the constitutive relationship of the material is delineated by the A-F kinematic hardening model. To shift enhance both efficiency and accuracy of obtaining model parameters, this study employs the inverse analysis techniques to derive damage accumulation parameter and material properties, departing from the conventional approach of experimental data fitting. Uniaxial tensile fatigue experiments were conducted on copper to validate the efficacy of the progressive damage model, which is also a key step in the process of inverse analysis. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was employed to rectify the post-test displacement field, with the corrected displacement serving as a boundary condition in simulations. Comparisons between simulation results and experimental data highlight the capability of the developed progressive damage model. This model demonstrates effectiveness in predicting the formation and propagation of low-cycle fatigue damage in ductile metal materials, leading to ultimate failure.
Distinctive mechanism and model for whole-life ratcheting of cement-stabilized aggregates in tensile fatigue tests
2024, Journal of Building Engineering
In light of the limited research on the fatigue damage and plastic strain evolution of cement-stabilized aggregates (CSA) despite their widespread application, this study aims at modeling the ratcheting of CSA, which provides better characterization of fatigue by counting plastic strain accumulation. Uniaxial and indirect tensile fatigue tests were conducted to obtain the plastic strain accumulation and stress-strain curves. A bar system was constructed to describe the ratcheting mechanism of CSA, which considers the non-homogeneity of CSA's components and composes parallel bars with a distribution of plastic-damage properties. The ratcheting rate variation was attributed to the strength distribution of the bars. Then, to prevent complex and hard-to-implement parameter fitting, a predigested ratcheting model was proposed, which focuses only on the secant modulus and simplifies the generation of ratcheting to the difference between reloading and unloading secant modulus. The test results revealed a three-stages characteristic in the ratcheting evolution of CSA. The non-coincidence of reloading and unloading curves was deemed the intuitive cause of the ratcheting. The numerical implementation of the proposed mechanism indicated that the strength and modulus discrepancies between weak and strong bars can lead to ratcheting. By comparing with the experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed model was verified in describing the ratcheting evolution of CSA and to characterizing the non-linearity of the accumulation curves. Moreover, the parameter fitting process requires the results of the current fatigue test instead of parallel tests or other loading tests, successfully eliminating calibration difficulties resulted from significant property discrepancies among CSA specimens.
Torsional response of microwires using multi-term nonlinear kinematic hardening model within strain gradient plasticity framework
2024, European Journal of Mechanics, A/Solids
The microwire torsion experiment holds significant importance in assessing the size effect at the micron and submicron scales. This paper introduces a model that examines the torsion of a microwire within a higher-order phenomenological strain gradient plasticity framework. The energetic consequences of plastic strain gradient are captured through a multi-term Chaboche-type nonlinear higher-order energetic stress evolution. This higher-order stress is linked to the formation of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) and reaches saturation as effective plastic strain increases during plastic flow. The thermodynamically consistent framework demonstrates additional dissipation in the dissipation inequality. To simulate microwires, a comprehensive three-dimensional mixed finite element with displacement and plastic strain as variables is proposed. Subsequently, an axisymmetric version of the general 3D theory is derived for circular cross-sections using the micro-force balance equation, which takes into account both energetic and dissipative higher-order stress. A procedure for identifying hardening parameters from experimental torque-twist data is suggested. Comparative analysis between numerical responses and experimental observations highlights the effectiveness of saturation term(s) in the higher-order energetic stress evolution equation, as well as the influence of radius-dependent hardening parameters. The torsional behavior of a non-circular section indicates that the warping of the non-circular section diminishes with an increased strain gradient effect. Surface passivation enhances the wire’s strength by preventing GNDs from escaping the surface. However, non-uniform surface passivation disrupts the symmetry of the cross-section and leads to more warping.
A crystal plasticity model for multiaxial cyclic deformation of U75V rail steel
2024, International Journal of Fatigue
The theoretical investigations of cyclic deformation behavior and deformation mechanism of the rail steels under multiaxial loadings are of great significance to the study of rolling contact fatigue. Based on the classical crystal plasticity framework, a new nonproportional parameter at the mesoscale is proposed, and the isotropic and kinematic hardening models are modified. A series of finite element simulations of U75V rail steel under uniaxial and multiaxial cyclic loading are carried out using the proposed model. The simulation results show that the proposed model can reasonably reflect the cyclic softening under strain-controlled uniaxial cyclic loading, cyclic hardening under strain-controlled multiaxial cyclic loadings, and ratcheting behavior under stress-controlled uniaxial and multiaxial cyclic loadings of U75V rail steel. Moreover, the influence of multiaxial loading paths on the plastic strain is explained from a mesoscopic perspective. The values of nonproportional parameters of different slip systems under uniaxial and multiaxial paths are compared, and the difference of nonproportional parameters at the macroscale and mesoscale are discussed. Finally, the simulation results of the proposed model and the existing model with modified kinematic hardening rules are compared. The results show that the proposed model has better predictions on the evolution of ratcheting strain and nonproportionally additional hardening effect caused by nonproportionally multiaxial loadings.
Prediction of the fatigue life in a textured AZ31 Mg alloy as a function of orientation using fatigue indicator parameters
2024, Materials Science and Engineering: A
Computational homogenization was used to simulate the mechanical response of a textured AZ31Mg alloy subjected to fully-reversed cyclic deformation. The behavior of each grain in the polycrystal followed a phenomenological crystal plasticity model that considered different deformation mechanisms, namely pyramidal, basal, and prismatic slip, as well as twinning and detwinning. It also accounted for both kinematic and isotropic hardening effects. The crystal plasticity model's parameters were adjusted to replicate the cyclic stress-strain curves along three different orientations (rolling direction, normal direction and at 45° between the rolling and normal directions) at different cyclic strain semi-amplitudes. Three different fatigue indicator parameters were calculated from the simulations, based on the accumulated plastic shear strain in one stabilized fatigue cycle from basal slip and pyramidal slip, and from the shear strain accommodated by twinning/de-twinning during one fatigue cycle. The predictions of the fatigue life based on the fatigue indicator parameters were compared with the experimental results for the three orientations. It was found that the most accurate prediction was obtained by using the fatigue indicator parameter associated with twinning/de-twinning. Thus, it is concluded that fatigue cracks nucleated at twin boundaries control the fatigue life of textured Mg alloys.
Modified isotropic and kinematic hardening equations for 304L SS under low cycle fatigue
2024, Computational Materials Science
This article simulates the low cycle fatigue behavior of 304L SS that exhibited initial hardening, softening, saturation, and significant secondary hardening. The combined non-linear isotropic and kinematic hardening model has been modified, implemented in ABAQUS, and validated with experimental results. New non-dimensional functions were introduced in the constitutive laws such that both isotropic and kinematic hardening behaviors depend on the accumulated plastic strain and maximum plastic strain range memory. The proposed isotropic hardening equation additively decomposes the cyclic hardening behavior into hardening, softening, and secondary hardening parts and captures the cyclic peak stress variation throughout the fatigue life well. Fatigue life is well predicted from the simulated loops.
