Abstract: Three type 304 stainless steel specimens of the same geometry were subjected to complex, cyclic axial-torsional histories characterized by varying degrees of non-proportionality of straining. All ...

Abstract: A nonisothermal, rate and time independent generalization of nonlinear kinematic hardening theory for cyclic plasticity is introduced. The model includes decomposition of backstress and of isotropic ...

Abstract: It seems like only a few years ago that I started my first Associate Editor term with JEMT, but ten years have passed! It has been an honor and privilege for me to serve my term as ...

Abstract: In this paper, equations of motion appropriate to long trains are derived which include the effects of undulating terrain. The formulation of a nonlinear dynamic programming problem to be applied ...

Abstract: The Mroz kinematic hardening rule has previously demonstrated superior capability to correlate cyclically stable nonproportional stress-strain response. In this paper, recently proposed kinematic ...

Abstract: A two surface stress space model is introduced with internal state variable repositories for fading memory of maximum plastic strain range and non-proportionality of loading. Evolution equations ...

Abstract: For the two surface cyclic plasticity model introduced in Part 1, methods for determination of model parameters are described. The model is specialized to axial-torsional loading of a thin-walled ...

Abstract: The parhelia associated with the 22° halo arise from minimum deviation of light by ice prisms with vertical 60° refracting angles. When the sun is near the horizon, the crystals responsible are thin hexagonal plates, which ...

Abstract: A two‐surface cyclic plasticity theory is presented with refinements based on analysis of nonproportional cyclic plasticity data. It is shown that the model accurately correlates nonproportional cyclic stress‐strain response, ...
