Abstract: The modeling possibilities of several linear and nonlinear-kinematic hardening rules are studied in detail in the particular case of tension-compression and in the framework of time-independent ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the monotonic and cyclic behavior of austenitic stainless steels and the way to model it. Developments made on constitutive equations led to elaborate sophisticated models ...

Abstract: The constitutive modeling of cyclic plasticity has made great progress during the past twenty years. One of the incompletely solved problems concerns ratchetting, that is the progressive strain ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is the development of a unified, cyclic, viscoplastic model for anisotropic materials. The first part of the paper presents the foundations of the model in the framework ...
