Abstract: Extensive experiments were conducted on annealed copper under cyclic nonproportional strain histories. After cyclically stabilizing the material by uniaxial cycling, out-of-phase axial-shear strain ...

Abstract: 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 ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was undertaken to evaluate anisotropic plasticity theories which have been proposed in the literature. Three different metals in the form of 2.5-in-dia bars were ...
